Dining for Others 2025

Join Us for a Riveting Evening with Meals on Wheels Orange County, NC!

Since 1976, we've been delivering more than just meals—we've been creating connections, alleviating hunger, and reducing loneliness and isolation among older adults across Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and rural Orange County.

This is a fundraising event featuring a delightful dinner, refreshing cocktails, and exciting opportunities to give back—including a silent auction, raffle, dessert dash, and more!

Each individual ticket purchased not only covers the fair market value of food and drinks for the evening but also provides a donation that funds one week’s worth of meals for an older adult in our community.

Purchase your ticket today and be part of a night filled with laughter, joy, and the incredible satisfaction of making a meaningful impact!

Corporate and Individual Sponsorship Opportunities are available. Please see our brochure here.
