Help Keep Meals on Wheels Rolling in Aiken County

For nearly 50 years, Aiken Senior Life Services (ASLS) has been part of the heartbeat of this community, quietly delivering more than just meals to the doorsteps of our homebound seniors. Our volunteers delivered nearly 100,000 hot meals to homebound seniors in Aiken County in 2024. ASLS has been there for generations of older adults who are aging alone, struggling with health challenges, or trying to make ends meet. 

​

But right now, I need to share something difficult. Our Meals on Wheels program is in jeopardy.

​

Uncertainty around federal funding, paired with skyrocketing food and fuel costs, means we're facing a serious financial shortfall over May - June 2025. Over the next two months, we're looking at a $150,000.00 gap. That's not just a number. It represents hundreds of daily meals, wellness check-ins and connections that our seniors count on. 

​

We can't let that happen. 

​

That's why I'm reaching out to you, not just as the Executive Director, but as someone who sees firsthand the impact this program makes every single day. 

​

Your gift, no matter the size, can help us keep rolling:

• $35 feeds a senior for a week

• $140 covers meals and safety visits for a full month

• $250 sponsors a senior for nearly two months.

​

These aren't just meals. They are moments of kindness - someone checking in, noticing a health issue before it becomes an emergency, or reminding a senior that they matter. 

​

Please, if you can, donate today to keep Meals on Wheels turning in Aiken County. And if you're able, please share this message with your circle. The more people who know, the more lives we can touch. 

​

With gratitude, 

Aimee Hanna
