Mahalo to our 40 years of service honoree, Sandy Delmonte. She joined Hawaii Meals on Wheels in 1985 when the organization was just started. As our longest-serving volunteer, Sandy has touched countless lives. You can read her full Q&A, link in the bio. #hmow #volunteer #mealsonwheels #hawaiimealsonwheels

🌟 We're incredibly grateful to The Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation for their generous grant award, which helps support the work of our Social Services Team. Their generosity allows us to provide personalized care coordination and essential services to kūpuna like Rosalinda, ensuring they receive the nutritious meals and support they need to age with dignity at home. 📸 Swipe to see our team visiting Rosalinda at her apartment, where we checked in on her well-being and ensured she’s receiving the care she deserves. With partners like The Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation, we can continue to serve and uplift our community. Mahalo nui loa! 💙 🍽️ #HMoW #MoreThanAMeal #Gratitude #CommunitySupport

Two incredible milestones! 🎉 This month, our kūpuna, Nora (102) and Natsue (100), celebrated their big birthdays! 🎂💐 Our CEO Michelle Cordero-Lee delivered flowers, cards, and knitted blankets to mark the occasion. Both Nora and Natsue live alone but stay safe and healthy with the support of their families, neighbors, and the nutritious meals we deliver every weekday. Join us in wishing them a very happy birthday! 🥳 And mahalo to our amazing supporters and volunteers for making moments like this so special. #MālamaOurKūpuna #CentenarianCelebration#HappyBirthday #MealsOnWheels #MoreThanAMeal
