Meals on
Wheel s
Meals on Wheels
is more than just
a meal! Friendly volunteers
deliver a nourishing, freshly
prepared noontime meal that
is nutritionally balanced to
provide one-third of a senior’s
recommended daily nutrients.
Volunteers have time for a brief
chat and a safety check.Seniors
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.
