According to the
Meals on Wheels website, nearly 9 million seniors face the threat of hunger and 1 in 4 lives alone. Our Home Delivered Meals Program is set up to help address both of these issues.
Home Delivered Meals are provided, in the home, to eligible persons (60 and older) who are home bound due to illness or incapacitating disability. In addition, individuals must be unable to obtain food or prepare meals for themselves and have no responsible person to assist them with this task.
Contributions
Consumer contributions are welcome. However, those unable to contribute will not be denied service.
Referrals
A referral can be made by calling 910-989-3013.
