Programs Supported by Your Donations

Meals on Wheels helps people who may not be able to shop or cook for themselves and makes it possible for them to stay in their homes. The clients pay $4.00 per hot meal with the option to add a light cold supper for an additional $2.00. Our meals are made fresh, Monday-Friday, in our kitchen. Additional meals may also be ordered for the weekend and holidays. A 5-week rotation of meals is used, so there is a nice variety for our clients. Last year we served 11,744 hot meals and 4831 cold meals. Our meals are hand delivered to our clients by volunteers. They not only deliver a meal, but they also provide understanding, patience, smiles and listening ears. This is also a comfort to our client’s families, to have someone checking in on their loved ones, especially for the families who don’t live nearby.

Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help

The cost to prepare our meals has increased by 10.5% this past year. We continue to strive to keep our fee low and affordable for our clients.
