By 1976, the program became a non-profit organization 501(c)(3), and in 1981, Fort Bend Seniors joined the United Way of Texas Gulf Coast. FBS is accredited through the Meals on Wheels Association of America as a Certified Nutritional Program.

Fort Bend Seniors now provides Meals on Wheels services to over 2,200 seniors annually. Fort Bend Seniors is the only organization that provides Meals on Wheels to all persons 60 years of age and over regardless of income in Fort Bend or Waller Counties. 91% of FBS’ clients live near or below the poverty level living.
