Galveston Island Meals on Wheels delivers lunchtime meals to homebound Island residents who cannot prepare meals due to illness, disability, or age - regardless of their ability to pay. (GIMOW) is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to delivering hot, nutritious meals each weekday to qualifying homebound and elderly citizens of the City of Galveston. Each meal is delivered by com
munity volunteers with kind words and a smile. At the time it began operations in 1974, the program delivered just 10 meals per week. Since its inception, more than 500,000 meals have been delivered to the elderly and homebound citizens of Galveston. Nearly 50,000 meals will be delivered this year alone.
