Give to someone in need

Homebound Meals would like to invite our community to adopt a senior in need this Holiday Season. We currently serve over 250 homebound clients, with 150 considered at-risk due to their challenging financial situation.

For Groups and Organizations

We are asking local organizations to adopt 10-25 at-risk individuals. Please call Barb at our office to receive a list of names for your group at (260) 422-3296 x6.

For families and individuals

We encourage local families are to adopt 1-3 of our clients, or more if you are able! ​Stop by any of the Fort Wayne area Connolly's Do It Best Hardware stores after November 4th to visit our Giving Tree to collect a name in need. If, for any reason, you find that you're unable to complete the care package, please return your name to the Connolly's store or call our office to let us know.
We ask that shoppers choose only from the approved items in the list below, no sweets, money, or gift cards. All items must fit into a 12"x12"x12" box (or similar), which you may provide or pick up at the Homebound Meals office. Packages may be wrapped if you desire, but it is not necessary. Your completed care packages should be dropped of at our office (or at any of the Fort Wayne area Connolly's Do It Best Hardware stores, for families) by December 3rd, 2021. Please call our office with any questions at (260) 422-3296 x6.
Homebound Meals deeply appreciates your generosity this season!
