Preventing Senior Homelessness

“Blessed in deed, and you will be paid.” – Luke 14:14

The growing crisis of homelessness among seniors in Los Angeles County is an urgent and serious issue. St. Vincent Meals on Wheels understands the pressing need to respond. The number of seniors experiencing homelessness has increased by over 17% in just one year, making older adults the fastest-growing group among the unhoused population in LA County.

The clients we serve have made meaningful contributions to our society, helping to build the communities we value today. However, many now find themselves close to homelessness, facing vulnerabilities that threaten their independence and well-being. Recent budget cuts have worsened the challenges they face and led to reductions in essential services.

At St. Vincent Meals on Wheels, we believe in going #BeyondTheMeal. With the invaluable support of donors like you, we offer nutritious, often medically tailored meals and essential services that help seniors stay in their homes—where they belong. Our mission is to make sure they feel valued, loved, and supported.

Our acts of kindness are blessings—not only for those we help but also for ourselves and our community. With your support, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of vulnerable seniors, ensuring they get the help they need to thrive. Your generosity can truly make a difference—blessed in action and rewarded with love.
