John Thane’s Commitment to Metroport Meals on Wheels Earns National Recognition

For more than a decade, Southlake financial advisor John Thane has delivered meals, served on the board and helped lead Metroport Meals on Wheels—all because he believes in the difference a simple act of service can make.
 
That commitment has now earned national recognition. Thane is a 2026 recipient of the Invest in Others Community Service Award, which includes a $75,000 grant for the Metroport Meals on Wheels Legacy Fund.

“What made the experience so special for me was realizing that this really isn’t about winning an award,” Thane said. “It’s about being surrounded by people who have a genuine passion for making a difference in the lives of others.”

Founded 46 years ago, Metroport Meals on Wheels serves more than 1,200 seniors each year across portions of Denton, Tarrant and Wise counties. The organization receives no federal funding and depends on the generosity of local individuals, businesses, foundations, volunteers and community partners.

For Thane, the mission has always been about more than delivering food.

“When our volunteers show up at someone’s door, they’re delivering a meal, but they’re also providing a wellness check, a friendly face and a connection to the community,” he said. “That connection can make all the difference for someone who might otherwise be isolated.”

The $75,000 grant will help strengthen the organization’s Legacy Fund and its ability to serve future generations of seniors. At the same time, Metroport Meals on Wheels continues to rely on the community’s support to provide meals and connection every day.

“You never know how much more your nonprofit can accomplish when someone believes in its mission and helps tell its story,” Thane said. “Invest in Others gives you an opportunity not only to support an organization you care about, but to amplify its impact.”

For Metroport Meals on Wheels, John’s recognition celebrates not only one individual’s commitment, but the volunteers, donors and community members who have helped sustain a vital local mission for 46 years.
