So many ways to help homebound New Mexicans...

Meals on Wheels appreciates everything you do and anything you can do going forward. Every gift, no matter how small, means another frail elderly or disabled person will receive nutritious meals.

Monetary Donations:

A gift of any size helps us to continue to serve those most vulnerable in our community and keep the cost of our meals very expensive, but did you know that:
  • A gift of $30 will feed someone for a week
  • $125 provides meals to someone for a month
  • $1500 will feed someone 5 days a week for an entire year

Your charitable gift can be made to honor a family member, business associate, or friend, or as a lasting tribute to the memory of someone special.

You can also designate your gift to help feed someone in our Low Income Medical Meal Program. We have created this program for those below the poverty level who require special therapeutic meals due to a health condition. This is a free meal program made possible only through donations and grants. Our program is the only one of its kind in the Albuquerque Community.

There are also a variety of charitable instruments available that we can tailor to your giving situation. These types of gifts allow you to leave a wonderful legacy. Such as:

  • Bequest by Will allows you to designate a gift or a portion of your estate to Meals on Wheels. In some cases there is a substantial reduction in federal gift and estate taxes.
  • Gifts of Life Insurance can be assigned to Meals on Wheels
  • Charitable Lead Trust places cash or property into a trust that pays a fixed amount to Meals on Wheels for the number of years you select. Once the period ends, the assets held by the trust are transferred to the beneficiaries you name. In some cases you will receive a substantial reduction in federal gift and estate taxes.
  • Charitable Remainder Trust places cash or property in a trust that pays annual income to you (or another named beneficiary) for life. After your death, the remainder of the trust transfers to Meals on Wheels. You will receive income tax benefits the year you establish your trust.

Your generous tax deductible cash donations can be made by check by mailing to:
Albuquerque Meals on Wheels, Inc.
P.O. Box 92614

MOW Endowment

Albuquerque Meals on Wheels launched a special program to develop the MOW Endowment so that resources would always be available to provide needed services to our vulnerable homebound clients.  Five individuals, board members and volunteers, made donations to help launch the program.  We offer a special thank you to them for helping plant the seeds that will grow this most worthwhile project.
