The volunteers of Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels are ambassadors who carry the powerful message of our mission to the community. Through the efforts of our volunteers, our organization can strengthen existing programs, add new programs, acquire additional funds and resources, add specialized skills and talents, and increase public awareness of our mission.
