2024 Marks 50 Years of Serving Galveston Island!

We are gearing up for our GOLDEN anniversary! Galveston Island Meals on Wheels got its start as a partnership between the Junior League of Galveston County and Methodist Retirement Communities, serving just 10 meals a week to homebound senior citizens in need. We now serve lunchtime meals to over 200 homebound Island residents every Monday through Friday!

Keep an eye out for updates on all the fun we have in store as we celebrate 50 years of service! We'll send updates to inboxes, mailboxes, and on social media.

Beautiful Weather for the 29th Annual Rev. Ray Pinard Golf Tournament

On Monday, November 20, we held our 29th Annual Rev. Ray Pinard Golf Tournament at the Galveston Country Club with a brief rain shower right before tee-off, followed by beautiful, sunny skies. Our friends at Classic Auto Group Galveston once again supported the tournament as our Hole-In-One Sponsor. Although we had a hole-in-one, it wasn't on the winning hole, so no one drove home in a new car...maybe next year! We appreciate all the golfers who made it a fun day raising money for home-delivered meals for our homebound neighbors!

Fall Regatta a Record-Breaking Success!

We celebrated our Fall Regatta on Thursday, September 28th with a sold-out crowd and record-breaking fundraising! Our guests enjoyed a delicious dinner buffet, tunes from Jim Byrom and Jim Galbraith of Midlife Crisis, an exciting duck race, and a fabulous silent auction. Thank you to all our sponsors, donors, and attendees for making our event wildly successful - and so much fun!

Thank you, supporters!

To everyone who donated their time, talent, or treasure this year, we thank you. The Galveston community has rallied behind our cause for nearly five decades, and we are most grateful for everyone who helps us provide food and friendship to our homebound neighbors!
