Meals On Wheels
Meals on Wheels provides nutritious meals to homebound older adults who are unable to prepare meals for themselves and have no one able and/or willing to provide meals for them. However, Meals on Wheels is much more than just a meal. The program provides education on healthy living and community resources, connects seniors who may be at risk of isolation or loneliness to volunteers and staff, and provides a regular safety check as their meals are being delivered.
Our local program is proud to be a member of Meals on Wheels America, the oldest and largest national organization of more than 5,000 community-based senior nutrition programs across the country addressing this most critical need.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Must be at least 60 years old
- Must live in Cumberland County
- Must be home bound, which is assessed through a home visit with program staff
- Are not able to prepare meals and have no one willing and/or able to provide meals
