Celebrity Waiters is an innovative event comprised of business & community leaders who purchase a table & invite 10 of their most generous & fun loving friends. Guests are waited on by their "Celebrity Waiter" host who encourages guests to bid, donate, and "tip" them throughout this fun event. No rubber chicken or ho-hum speeches here - just fun & a little friendly competition!
Celebrity Waiters is one of the most successful, zaniest, over-the-top charity events in New Mexico. Its success is about organized chaos, costumes, pranks, and a spirit of fun. With the combination of incredÂible auction items, an inspiring cause, and loose checkbooks, Celebrity Waiters delivers a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all involved. The event is guaranteed to be the most fun you'll ever have while raising dollars for charity.

About Meals on Wheels New Mexico
Our Mission
Meals on Wheels New Mexico's mission is delivering healthy meals and friendship - neighbor to neighbor.
Our Vision
A New Mexico where every neighbor in every community is nourished!
Founded by a group of women from Albuquerque's Presbyterian churches in 1972, Meals on Wheels New Mexico was created to provide nutrition, compassion, and friendship to homebound neighbors. What started with 40 volunteers and 20 clients, has grown to 300 volunteers delivering over 200,000 meals to 2,000 clients each year!
Meals on Wheels New Mexico is the only home delivered meal program in our area preparing special diets for anyone, of any age, for any reason. Our team prepares these diets to meet the nutritional needs of our clients with medical issues such as diabetes, renal failure, heart issues, chewing and swallowing problems and more. Through our team of compassionate volunteers, we not only provide nutritious meals but also support and companionship to those we serve.
Thanks to the generosity of community members like you, we are able to provide subsidies for many of the clients we serve. On average, 85% of our clients receive free or reduced cost meals.
Meals on Wheels New Mexico's Million Meals Campaign, now in its second year, is a monumental initiative aimed at delivering one million meals over five years to hungry neighbors across the state. By eliminating the waitlist and expanding access, we have made significant strides in ensuring that neighbors throughout New Mexico receive vital nutrition and support. However, to achieve this ambitious goal and continue addressing the ever-growing need, we rely on the ongoing support and contributions of the community.
Your assistance is crucial in sustaining the momentum of this campaign and making a meaningful difference in the lives of countless individuals who rely on Meals on Wheels for nourishment and companionship.
