Our mission is to help older persons remain independent for as long as possible. Meals-on-Wheels is one of the programs that enables us to achieve this goal.

Description:
To effectively carry out our mission, we administer over 20 community services that provide nutrition (such as Meals-on-Wheels), education, advocacy and socialization.

Our goals are to:
Enhance the quality of life in the home.
Help individuals stay in their homes and avoid early institutionalization.
Provide support to caregivers of the elderly
Advocate for quality services, medical care, and housing for the elderly.

LOA is funded by federal, state, and local governments, corporate and private foundations, United Way, Foundation for Roanoke Valley, donations and fund raising.
