Every day, Meals on Wheels Delaware partners with five meal-providing agencies and a team of volunteers to deliver hot meals to almost 4,000 homebound seniors. Volunteers delivered nearly 600,000 ready-to-eat, hot lunchtime meals across the state last year, using their own cars and covering the cost of gas out of their own pockets.
Meals on Wheels Delaware developed the Gas Cards for Caring Hearts program after volunteer drivers began reducing their weekly hours due to escalating gas prices. The volunteers cover 132 daily routes across the state, a total of 2,125 miles each day, which comprises a crucial aspect of the meal-delivery program's success. Volunteers not only provide seniors with a healthy meal—they offer companionship and help the seniors remain independent. Gas cards fund fuel costs so that drivers can continue to perform these vital services.

If G-Team members raise $500, Meals on Wheels Delaware can distribute gas cards to their volunteer drivers, covering the cost of more than 2,500 miles of transportation. Each additional $500 raised will fund 2,500 more miles. Meals on Wheels Delaware's Board of Directors will match donations up to $500.
