Meals On Wheels of San Francisco, Inc

Who We Serve

MOWSF provides home-delivered meals to seniors who are otherwise unable to purchase or prepare meals. Our organization is geared towards serving those with the greatest physical, social and economic need. The seniors we serve are frail and isolated. They are also confronted with the anxiety that the cost of living in San Francisco could outweigh their limited income.

All of our clients are physically challenged due to a variety of conditions such as heart disease, cancer, vision loss, arthritis and diabetes
63% are on modified diets
60% are low income
62% live alone
62% are over 75 years old
56% are female
44% are male
44% are Caucasian
26% are African American
15% are Asian/Pacific Islander
11% are Latino

In the coming years, MOWSF anticipates serving a similar population, with a trend towards older, poorer and increasingly ethnically diverse seniors.
