History
MOWLB was launched in 1971 and this past year, 2017, marked 46 years of service to the Long Beach community, during which time MOWLB has never missed a scheduled delivery day and has never stopped meal service to any client due to funding cuts from federal, state or local government. MOWLB has never accepted government funding. During 2017, Meals on Wheels of Long Beach (MOWLB) delivered an unprecedented 175,514 meals, an increase of over 50,000 meals in the last four years. In fact, MOWLB has consistently and sustainably increased the number of clients served during this period. Currently, MOWLB serves upwards of 425 homebound seniors, veterans and disabled, regardless of age, in Long Beach, Signal Hill and Leisure World Seal Beach. According to a recently conducted survey, MOWLB clients stated that they are either very satisfied (74%) or satisfied (25%) with Meals On Wheels' services. This means that 99% of MOWLB clients feel their needs are served well by MOWLB.
