Meals brought to your door!
If you are a senior and unable to leave your home it can be very difficult to prepare a nutritious meal for yourself. Our Meals on Wheels service can help. Receive nutritious, well-balanced meals delivered to your home by a Meals on Wheels volunteer. You will find comfort in knowing that a good meal and a friendly face will come with every visit.
The extensive Meals on Wheels network of programs and volunteers delivers one million healthy, wholesome meals everyday across the U.S. It provides not only a nutritious meal, but also a friendly visit and safety check – helping seniors to overcome the challenges of limited mobility and isolation as they age and to keep living independently in their own homes and communities.
If you are eligible to receive Meals on Wheels, you will first need to work with a Senior Services’ Care Coordinator. Meal delivery is usually started as soon as possible. Call
