Meals on Wheels

What is Meals On Wheels?

We deliver hot, nutritious meals to elderly individuals in Provo. It's a simple, impactful way to brighten someone's day and ensure our senior neighbors are well-fed. We partner with Meals on Wheels, who prepare the delicious meals at the Provo Rec Center.

We also do Friendly Callers, which is a Y-Serve program that connects seniors in Summit, Utah and Wasatch Counties with BYU student volunteers for weekly one-on-one phone conversations. Each call lasts around 20 minutes, and seniors and students can decide together the best time each week to talk. Matches are made based on gender and schedule availability, and—when possible—by shared interests.

What is Friendly Callers?

Friendly Callers, a program through Y Serve at BYU, connects students with seniors in Summit and Wasatch counties for weekly phone conversations. Volunteers are matched with seniors based on gender, availability, and sometimes shared interests. It’s a flexible way for BYU students to provide companionship, reduce isolation, and make a positive impact on the local community.
