Community Services

OUR PROGRAMS

Meals On Wheels

As the area’s senior nutrition program, we provide consistent and healthy meals to seniors in need each day.

OUR PROGRAMS

Head Start

Head Start and Early Head Start are comprehensive child and family development programs that prepare children from birth to five years of age to become successful school students and productive members of society.

It is important for the OWBC community to know that we are continuing to feed our Meals on Wheels seniors. At this time, our seniors are finishing a two-week supply of shelf stable meals. By April 3rd, another two-week supply of shelf stable meals will be delivered to all Meals on Wheels clients, in addition to some donated items we have received. If you would like to donate canned food, toilet paper, Lysol wipes, or other items from our Donation "Needs" List, please email development@owbc-tx.org to schedule drop-off at our main office in Georgetown. We are running on limited personnel at this time and are closed to the public, so special donation drop-offs need coordinated.
