Hot
nutritious meals can be delivered to the homes of seniors who are
unable to prepare their own meals.
Meals On Wheels are delivered by community volunteers
five days a week in the majority of the communities we serve. A
hot nutritious meal is provided that includes protein, vegetables,
milk, juice, bread, and fruit. Favorite dishes are served regularly
and special diets are also available.
The visit by the volunteer is just as vitally
important as the healthy meal. Volunteers bring bright smiles and
friendly greetings while checking to make sure seniors are safe
and well.
If you know someone who might benefit from Meals on Wheels please give us a call to discuss eligibility.
The impact of Meals On Wheels
50% of seniors admitted to hospital suffer from malnutrition
severe enough to have caused their illness or to impede their
recovery.
85% of older Americans have chronic illnesses that could be
helped by better nutrition
