The journey to 1 million meals
Since 1974, Edmond Mobile Meals has fed thousands of homebound seniors in Edmond who are unable to prepare meals for themselves. This year we will proudly deliver our ONE MILLIONTH MEAL and we are already preparing for the next million meals and beyond. The senior population is the fastest growing demographic in the United States. Nearly 10 million seniors are threatened by hunger every year and 7 million live in poverty making it difficult to buy healthy food. Right here in Edmond, we have signed up 30% more seniors for our service this year than in 2019. With your support, we can continue the legacy of providing Edmond’s homebound seniors with not only nutritious meals, friendly smiles, and safety checks, but also the peace of mind that comes with remaining safely at home, where he or she wants to be.
We need you to continue the legacy
This year we ask you to join us as we build on the 46 years of trusted service with a one-time gift to our permanent Endowment Fund held at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. A donation of any amount to the Endowment Fund today helps sustain our work and allows us to continue the legacy that will feed seniors in our community for decades to come.

Just Feed One
Are you interested in giving monthly?
The Just Feed One initiative is based on a quote from Mother Teresa that says “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”
We know it is overwhelming to think about helping us feed over 200 people each day. Perhaps you can give monthly to cover the cost of just one client’s meals.
- $5/month feeds one person for 1 day
- $25/month feeds one person for 1 week
- $50/month feeds one route for 1 day
- $100/month feeds one person for 1 month
- $250/month feeds one route for 1 week
Paypal is set up to accept monthly donations that you never have to worry about or you can download the donation form below and return to EMM and we can set up your payment schedule to be run monthly from the office.
