For 64 years, The Senior Source has been the go-to resource in the Dallas area for older adults and their loved ones to navigate aging. We give active older adults a sense of purpose through volunteering; we provide resources and support for family caregivers; we fiercely protect residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities, and we improve the financial security of all older adults through employment assistance, frauds, and scams education and money management.

Meals On Wheels of Tarrant County promotes the dignity and independence of older adults, persons with disabilities, and other homebound persons by delivering nutritious meals and providing or coordinating needed services. The meals, daily contact by caring volunteers, and professional case management allow frail, homebound clients to remain living independently in their own homes... where they want to be. A volunteer force of over 5,200 caring individuals delivers meals to 2,500 people who truly need our help in neighborhoods throughout Tarrant County. Volunteers also deliver blankets, fans, supplemental groceries, medical equipment, microwave ovens, and other items essential to help clients maintain their independence, along with food for their companion pets. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization that has operated independently in Tarrant County since 1973.
