Meals On Wheels of Tarrant County is proud to serve Texas veterans who have given so much for our country. Veterans who meet our program eligibility requirements are assigned to a dedicated veteran case manager, funded by the Texas Veterans Commission Fund, who will help them navigate programs and services offered by Meals On Wheels as well as other community services.

The Meals On Wheels of Tarrant County Home-Delivered Meals and Client Assistance programs are supported by a grant from the Texas Veterans Commission Fund for Veteransā€™ Assistance.Ā Ā TheĀ Fund for Veteransā€™ Assistance provides grants to organizations serving veterans and their families.Ā  For more information, visit TVC.Texas.gov

Eligible veterans, spouses, and surviving spouses may receive freshly-prepared meals, frozen meals, or congregate meals, depending on individual needs.

We are excited to announce that we have teamed up with the Texas Veterans Network (TVN) powered by Combined Arms to provide referral services to veterans to ensure that needs are met whenever possible.

Together we will connect more servicemembers, veterans, caregivers, survivors, and military families with the community. The Texas Veterans Network is a statewide collaborative of veteran-serving, community-based organizations, government agencies and national service providers that have come together to utilize Combined Arms innovative technology to improve the quality of life for veterans and military-connected individuals.

Veterans, servicemembers, military families, caregivers, and special immigrant visas (SIVs) across the nation seeking resources, services, and support before, during, and after their transition from service, can connect with member organizations that help navigate their lifeā€™s transitions.
