Episode Details

Seniors on the Westside are facing a hunger crisis as Meals on Wheels West hits a historic 100-person waitlist — the first time in 50 years. For many homebound elders, these meals mean more than food: they’re lifelines that deliver vital health checks and human connection. But rising costs, shrinking donations, and federal funding gaps are straining the service. With LA County’s elderly population growing, the need will only intensify. The group is racing to help 10 of the most vulnerable off the list this year — but they’re calling for volunteers, community action, and corporate support to turn the tide before it’s too late.
