For more than 50 years, Meals on Wheels of Central Indiana has been about more than meals — it’s about people.
We serve individuals of all ages who face health challenges or barriers to accessing nutritious food, delivering not only nourishment but also care and connection. Every visit is a reminder that no one in our community should be isolated or overlooked. With the support of our volunteers, partners, and donors, we’re helping neighbors across Central Indiana stay healthy, independent, and supported right where they live.
Meals on Wheels of Central Indiana educates, innovates, and advocates for our vulnerable neighbors by delivering medically tailored, nourishing, and culturally appropriate food while promoting social connectedness.
Our Values
Our team is guided by a set of core values that shape everything we do—from the way we serve meals to how we support one another and our community.
We value:
COMMUNITY: Engaging in positive experiences that help build relationships and trust.
DIVERSITY: Recognizing, appreciating, and celebrating the differences of clients, partners, volunteers, and staff.
TEAMWORK: Leveraging one’s strengths to work collaboratively toward the mission and vision.
COMMITMENT: Doing what we say we are going to do and expecting the same from others on our team.
CELEBRATION: Focusing on enjoyment, fun, and recognition.
