About Us
The Meals On Wheels Association of Texas (MOWAT) comprises home-delivered and/or congregate meal programs all over Texas. In just a few short years, MOWAT has made remarkable strides in providing education and networking opportunities to members and advocating on behalf of seniors and adults with disabilities in need of nutritional support. Texans Feeding Texans, a program to provide $20 million in new funding for home-delivered meals through the Department of Agriculture, is an excellent example of what can be accomplished with the cooperative efforts of our members and the leadership of Texas senators and representatives who understand the importance of what we do. We invite you to become a member this year. As a member, your organization will receive a discount to attend the Meals On Wheels of Texas conferences as well as ongoing communication about Texans Feeding Texans and other important matters that can impact your success.
