Healing On Wheels!
Healing comes to you.
Healing on Wheels, our mobile food and basic needs delivery program. Healing on Wheels currently serves 50–60 households each month, delivering groceries and essential items directly to families who face transportation, health, or mobility barriers. Many of the households we serve include working families, seniors, caregivers, and individuals managing medical conditions who are often overlooked by site-based distribution models.
Each month, Healing on Wheels delivers food, household items, hygiene supplies, and baby essentials, including diapers, pull-ups, wipes, baby formula, toilet paper, paper towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, deodorant, soap and beyond. These deliveries help families meet their basic needs without added stress or financial tradeoffs.
In 2025, through partnerships with Central Texas Food Bank, H-E-B, Costco, and local nonprofit partners, The Healing Project distributed over 100,000 pounds of food, serving thousands of individuals year-round through both Healing on Wheels and our Healing Hunger program.
Healing on Wheels is designed to work upstream, meeting families before a temporary hardship becomes a crisis. By providing consistent access to nutritious food and essential items, the program reduces food insecurity, stabilizes household budgets, and decreases the likelihood that families will need to choose between groceries, baby supplies, transportation, or medical care. These interventions support household stability at a critical moment, particularly for families navigating health challenges, caregiving responsibilities, or displacement risk.
The Healing Project also invests in community leadership, supporting participants to become resource navigators for their neighbors and networks. This peer-driven approach extends the impact of each delivery beyond a single household and strengthens community resilience over time.
As Austin continues to undergo rapid construction and transportation changes, access barriers are increasing—especially for seniors, people with disabilities, and families without reliable transportation. Healing on Wheels directly addresses this gap by delivering resources where people live, ensuring access remains consistent even as infrastructure and transit systems shift.
By strengthening a trusted, community-based delivery model, this investment provides immediate relief while reinforcing long-term food access, household stability, and dignity for families across Austin and Central Texas.
