Meals on Wheels of Amarillo

Last week, the Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine team hit the road with Meals on Wheels Amarillo—and what a great day it was!

The students and their professor made their rounds, caring for some very special four-legged members of our Meals on Wheels family. They looked after the wonderful Callie the cat, and of course, the dynamic duo of Blackie and Shorty! 🐱🐾

It was another great example of what makes this partnership so special. Our seniors get the peace of mind knowing their beloved pets are cared for, while veterinary students gain valuable experience and the joy of serving our community.

Today, the road to better health has a few extra paws along the way! 🐾❤️

Our friends from Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine are out making their rounds, bringing veterinary care directly to the pets of our senior clients.

This partnership is truly a win-win. Our clients and their beloved pets receive important veterinary care, while students gain valuable, hands-on experience and the opportunity to serve the community they are learning to care for.

A huge thank-you to the students and faculty for giving their time, knowledge and hearts to our community!

A meal can mean so much more than food. ❤️

A recent The Amarillo Tribune article highlights the growing need among Amarillo’s seniors—and the vital role Meals on Wheels plays in meeting that need.

When Susie Akers began with Meals on Wheels, 180 seniors were being served. Today, that number has grown to more than 330.

As changes to SNAP may leave more people struggling to put food on the table, our mission becomes even more important.

No senior should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from.

Thank you to every volunteer, donor, and supporter who helps us make sure our seniors are not forgotten.

Editor’s note: Recent changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program have affected many of our Amarillo neighbors who are food insecure. This is the first installment of a three-part series about how these changes are impacting our neighbors facing food insecurity and the people and prog...

Our volunteers and delivery drivers do so much more than deliver a meal—they deliver kindness, connection, and the reassurance that someone cares. Just one hour out of your day can make a lasting impact in the life of a homebound neighbor.

If you've been looking for a meaningful way to give back, we'd love to welcome you to the Meals on Wheels Amarillo family.

This 4th, we celebrate more than our Nation's Independence—we celebrate the neighbors, volunteers, donors, and supporters who help make our community stronger every day.
Because of your generosity, homebound seniors across Amarillo can continue living with dignity, independence, and the comfort of knowing someone cares.
From all of us at Meals on Wheels of Amarillo, we wish you a Safe, Joyful, and Happy Fourth of July!

We are incredibly grateful to Xcel Energy and the Xcel Energy Foundation for recognizing the important work being done by nonprofits across our communities. Being among the organizations receiving this support is an honor, and this investment helps us continue delivering not only meals, but also compassion, connection, and hope to homebound seniors throughout Amarillo.

Thank you for believing in the power of community and the impact that local nonprofits make every day. ❤️
