Meals on Wheels of Loveland and Berthoud relies on the community to be successful. Without the people we serve, our dedicated volunteers, or our generous donors we would not be able to do our part in making the Loveland and Berthoud communities a wonderful place to live.
So if you are looking for a home-delivered meal, have some time to volunteer, or looking to support independence for all with a charitable donation, we hope you will join us and become involved with our organization.
In January 1968, Meals on Wheels of Loveland and Berthoud became the first home-delivery meal service program established west of the Mississippi River. Our organization’s conception was a collaborative, community effort led by local Red Cross volunteer Dorothy Morin, philanthropist Helen Erion and other individuals concerned with the need for good nutrition and socialization for the homebound.
On that January day, 12 meals were prepared and delivered out of the local Elks Club kitchen. Today, we operate out of our own site in downtown Loveland with a commercial-grade kitchen, preparing over 78,000 meals annually for homebound clients and 25,665 meals to homeless and low-income community members. 2018 marked our 50th year of serving communities in Southern Larimer County.
