1. What is Meals on Wheels?

Meals on Wheels is more than just a meal!

• Friendly volunteers deliver a nourishing, freshly prepared noontime meal. Meals are nutritionally balanced to provide 1/3 of the recommended nutrients.
• Volunteers have time for a brief chat and a safety check. Many who live alone, feel more secure knowing that someone is checking on them regularly.
• Frozen meals are available for days we do not deliver or if requested.
• If more help is needed, the Senior Connections Area Coordinator may be able to suggest some options at the time of the home visit.
