Recipient Testimonial

"JC has been a recipient of Meals on Wheels for over a year. Due to off and on hospitalizations and medical issues, she found it difficult to do basic tasks such as cooking.  She discussed these problems to a friend who mentioned Meals on Wheels and contacted them on her behalf. JC now receives a well balanced meal several times a week and no longer has to worry about making as many meals for herself. She also takes comfort in knowing each Meals on Wheels visit serves as a way to check in on her health and well being."

Liberty Meals on Wheels Loves Pets Too program

No senior should have to share their own food with their pet. The goal of our Liberty Meals on Wheels Loves Pets Too program is to help recipients who are struggling to afford proper food for both themselves and their pets. We have partnered with Great Plains SPCA pet food pantry to provide generic food for cats and dogs.

Volunteer Information

Liberty Meals on Wheels needs regular drivers and substitute drivers to deliver more than 500 meals on a weekly basis. "Regular" drivers are those who can commit to delivering meals once a week for an extended period of time. "Substitute" drivers are called on about once a month to fill in when the regular drivers are unable to deliver on their usual day,

Meals on Wheels also utilizes volunteers in other ways outside of the core meal delivery service. Learn how you can help »

Volunteer Testimonial

"Vickie started as a substitute driver three years ago (2017) after moving to Liberty. Her mother was a driver for Meals on Wheels when she was a child and remembers her mom always coming home with a smile on her face. Years later, with the passing of her mother, Vickie started volunteering with Meals on Wheels to carry on her mother’s memory and also takes her children with her to help out. She believes she delivers more than just a meal. The meal serves as a way to develop a personal connection with the recipient as well as a way to check in on them to make sure they’re doing ok. Vickie believes the personal element between the driver and the recipient is what separates Meals on Wheels from other organizations."
