This program got started as an experimental meal program after the war that only served seven seniors. A lot of homes were lost during the war due to German planes that bombed homes and for those that were fortunate enough to keep there lives but not there homes, so people couldn't cook for themselves. Then the Women's Volunteer Service for Civil Defense responded to this by preparing and delivering meals to the neighbors in need. The women also prepared refreshments in canteens to servicemen in World War II. The canteen were the known as "Meals on Wheels", which was the first meal program in the United States. Meals on Wheels has served only seven seniors in 1954 whose homes had been destroyed during the war to now serving millions to elderly, disabled, or people that are at risk across the country.

Meals on Wheels is an excellent service that was started in Philadelphia, from only serving seven people by cooking their food and taking it to them. Which was probably all done in one kitchen. Then Columbus, Ohio started a meal program on their own that was different from Philadelphia. They got restaurants to donate meals and taxicabs would come by and pick them up and deliver to them. This was a sacrifice for both the restaurants and the taxicab drivers because the taxicab drivers were using their gas and the restaurants weren't making any profit. The only money went to the restaurants to buy more food to make the next day and send it back out to the people in need of a warm meal. Then the City of Rochester, New York started there own meal program which charged 50 cent to $1.85 for a meal and then the Bureau of Chronic Diseases and Geriatrics of the New York Department of Health paid for the remaining cost of the food. All of these programs have improved a lot in the years that it has been building up to this point. It provides all of the people that receive these meals with not only a nice meal but with friends because of the people that deliver to the people in need. Over half of the people receiving Meals on Wheels reported only being able to get out of there homes once a week, so when the volunteers come to deliver there food it gives the elderly someone to talk to and something to look forward to. This program has helped millions of people and will continue to help people for a long time, through donations, contributions, and volunteers that run the whole thing.
