Everyone should know about this organization. If I ever need help, I know I can call Meals on Wheels and someone will be there.

Church Partners & Sponsors

The congregations behind the mission

Three local churches have been woven into BAMOW's story since the very beginning — offering space, logistical support, and consistent financial backing year after year.

  • Delivery Home & In-Kind Support

    Gloria Dei Lutheran

    Gloria Dei is where BAMOW volunteers gather every weekday morning to organize meals and dispatch routes. The church provides this space rent-free and makes their maintenance staff available to help move equipment and supplies as needed. Gloria Dei donates to BAMOW annually.

  • Mailing Address & Meeting Host

    House of Prayer Lutheran

    House of Prayer has served as the official mailing address for BAMOW for many years and hosted board meetings for much of the organization's history. Their ongoing support — including regular donations — reflects a long and trusted relationship with the mission.

  • Founding Church & Community Anchor

    Clear Lake United Methodist

    More than fifty Clear Lake residents gathered at CLUMC in 1982 to launch what would become Bay Area Meals on Wheels. The church hosted the organization's annual meetings for many years and continues to support the mission through regular donations.
