Meals-On-Wheels
Overview
Meals-On-Wheels are hot, nutritious lunches that are delivered Monday through Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to the homebound elderly who meet the requirements. Meals-On-Wheels are delivered by friendly volunteers, many of whom are the only people the homebound elderly see during the day. Weekend and Holiday meals are also available to seniors at the highest risk of malnutrition.
Meals are provided on a donation basis and participants are encouraged to donate toward the cost of their meals as they are able. The suggested donation is $2.75 per meal.
