Our Mission
Altadena Meals on Wheels ("AMOW") is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization that has been serving hot meals to residents in Altadena since 1973.
With a commitment to compassion, dignity and nutritional excellence, AMOW utilizes a caring and dedicated team of volunteers to deliver hot and tasty meals to seniors who are confined to their homes for reasons including illness, post-surgery rehabilitation, convalescence, and/or age to help them live healthier, more nourished lives so they can remain independent in the comfort and security of their own homes for as long as possible.
AMOW is ready to meet the needs and challenges of our time with compassion, resilience and hard work to satisfy the needs of our vulnerable recipients who need assistance with food security and those who would benefit from daily contact with caring volunteers.
Altadena Meals on Wheels has always operated as a private, non-profit, 501(c)(3)community service organization.
