The Numbers Tell the Story
Every number represents a senior in Fort Bend or Waller County who received a nutritious meal, a friendly visit, a ride to a senior center, or a place to connect with others.
"If we didn't receive the Meals on Wheels, we would not be able to live independent at home. Thanks for the Meals on Wheels."
— Fort Bend Seniors Neighbor
A Message from Our CEO
More Than Meals
Doug Simpson
Chief Executive Officer
Every meal delivered represents more than nutrition. It represents connection, dignity, and care.
During 2025, Fort Bend Seniors continued its mission of ensuring seniors across Fort Bend and Waller Counties remain independent and supported. Our staff and volunteers delivered 369,611 meals, provided 19,414 rides, and ensured seniors across two counties remained connected to their communities.
Many of the seniors we serve live alone. They face daily challenges: food insecurity, isolation, and limited mobility. For some, the daily visit from a volunteer driver is the only face-to-face contact they receive.
This work happens because of a community committed to the belief seniors matter. Donors, volunteers, corporate partners, and public leaders stand behind our mission every day.
Together, we are delivering more than meals.
Doug Simpson, CEO
Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels
56% of seniors feel lonely. Social isolation raises the risk for high blood pressure, cognitive decline, and dementia.
Core Programs
How We Serve
Home Delivered Meals
Volunteer and staff drivers deliver hot, nutritious meals to homebound seniors across Fort Bend and Waller Counties every day. Each delivery includes a wellness check and a moment of human connection.
"The meals are certainly needed and enjoyed. The knock on the door is a joyful sound."
— Home Delivered Meals Neighbor
Senior Centers
Six senior centers across Fort Bend and Waller Counties provide a place for seniors to gather, eat a hot meal, and participate in activities. These centers fight isolation and build friendships.
"The warmth and camaraderie of our site coordinator has created a friendly environment. I am so much happier now. It feels good to belong."
— Senior Center Neighbor
Supportive Services
Nutrition alone does not keep seniors safe and independent. Fort Bend Seniors provides transportation, benefits counseling, and other services to ensure seniors remain in their homes.
Volunteering
The Heart of Our Mission
Every meal reaches a senior's door because a volunteer chose to show up.
"The program is great. I love the food. If they don't come, I just drink milk."
