Home Delivered Meals

Seniors who are homebound and unable to shop for or prepare meals may be eligible for a home delivered meal through Meals on Wheels or the Area Agency on Aging. The meal, which may be hot or frozen, is balanced to provide one-third of the daily recommended nutritional requirements. In some cases, two meals may be delivered daily, either frozen or a brown bag supplemental meal. Special dietary restrictions such as low cholesterol, diabetic and low salt are considered.  Meals on Wheels programs are funded by a variety of sources. Some programs receive federal funding from Title III-C-2 of the Older Americans Act. Some local programs are entirely private funding.  Most programs encourage contributions.

There are also other commercial sources that offer Meal Delivery.  See Locate Assistance - Meal Delivery
