WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

No senior should be hungry or unsafe. Our elderly neighbors gave so much to society, and they deserve to age independently and with dignity. MOW Diablo Region’s delivered meals and supportive services are there for them, and we hope you will be, too with your support. Our services are free, and 94 cents of every dollar donated is used to improve the lives of seniors.
