Over 120 People on the Waiting List for
Meals on Wheels

Please Help by Making a Donation (Click Here)

Our Meals on Wheels program is vitally important to ensuring the health and well-being of seniors in Eastern Los Angeles. Since 1986, the Intervale Senior Services Program has helped the YWCA of San Gabriel Valley reach out and embrace elderly members of the community with compassion and support. We serve nutritiously balanced meals to over 1,500 seniors every day.

Our goal is to provide custom-tailored services that enable elderly neighbors in our community to live in their own homes with independence and dignity.

Studies show that proper nutrition is key to well-being for the elderly, and that half of all hospitalized seniors suffer from malnutrition so severe that it either caused their illness or prevents them from getting better. Our Meals on Wheels program is a lifeline for the homebound elderly in the San Gabriel Valley. Click here if you would like more information about our Senior Services Program.

New Jobs Program for People Age 50+
Healthy Life Employment and Economic Supports Program

Every day approximately 20 million low-income older individuals struggle to secure their most basic needs in life—such as food or shelter—with limited or no financial resources. Over 3 million older adults are searching for work and many are dealing with the impact of long-term unemployment.
The YWCA San Gabriel Valley and Women At Work have teamed up to address this problem. With funding from the AARP Foundation we are working together to help hundreds of older workers move back into employment.
AARP Foundation recently awarded us a two-year grant to implement a unique model for providing a continuum of services to help adults age 50+ upgrade skills and obtain employment and have access to benefits, work supports and services that help protect themselves and their families from severe financial instability.
