Meals On Wheels Meals On Wheels turns 50!
Hot meals, warm smiles, independence and peace of mind. Meals On Wheels delivers this and more to the homebound, elderly, or ill through a dedicated volunteer force, made possible by generous donors, funders, and community support. That's the basis for this evolving program established by Visiting Nurse Service. Meals On Wheels has nourished the health, independence and spirit of those in need since 1958. Now celebrating 50 years of service, it continues to extend its reach with innovative efforts and gratifying results.

Meals On Wheels is For You.
The Meals On Wheels program provides nutritious meals to homebound residents of our community. Meals On Wheels will:

  • Deliver the number of meals you request each day to your home.
  • Help improve your health by making sure you are receiving good, nutritious meals.
  • Check in on you each day, giving peace of mind to family members who can't always be there.
  • Bring meals that meet your special medical needs.


Am I Eligible?
Requests for Meals On Wheels services can be made by anyone - family, friends, physicians, health care agencies or recipients themselves. There are no income or asset tests used to determine eligibility. To be eligible for Meals On Wheels, individuals must be:

  1. 18 years of age or older.
  2. Incapacitated due to accident, illness or frailty.
  3. Living alone or with someone who is unable to prepare meals and/or is absent during the day.
  4. Receive meals a minimum of three day per week.

Payment

You may pay by cash, check or money order, VISA or MasterCard. At the beginning of each month, bills are mailed to you for services you received the month prior. Although private insurance and Medicare do not cover the cost of meals, most meals can be subsidized.

Giving the gift of Home Delivered Meals

We know that comfort begins by staying in familiar surroundings and being cared for by caregivers who have become like family.

At Meals On Wheels, our participants always come first. We strive to improve health and independence to all - regardless of their ability to pay.

Frequently, in our program, participants do have the ability to pay for service. Contributions and donations in memory of loved ones will assist us in providing a hot, nutritious meal to everyone, especially those who cannot pay.
