Founded in 1966, by a compassionate community activist named Emma Vargas, Service Opportunities for Seniors/Meals on Wheels is an independent 501C3  non-profit organization dedicated to helping frail seniors maintain their independence and remain safely in their own homes. We produce and deliver meals daily from our own kitchen to homebound seniors living in the communities of Castro Valley, Hayward, San Leandro, San Lorenzo and the City of Oakland.  We deliver 1,300 nutritious meals to homebound seniors 60 years of age and older who are unable to purchase or prepare food for themselves.  Meals on Wheels’ drivers provide daily check-ins and social contact for our communities’ most vulnerable elders.
