Grove City Area Meals on Wheels prepares and delivers hot and cold nutritious meals to elderly, disabled and convalescent members of the community at an affordable price. We deliver to Grove City, Leesburg, Mercer, Harrisville, and Slippery Rock. Sometimes our volunteers are the only person a client sees all day, being a safety-net particularly for those living alone.

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 comfortably 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 be ordered for the weekend and holidays. A 5-week rotation of meals is used, so there is a nice variety for our clients. Our meals are hand delivered to the clients by volunteers. They not only deliver a meal, but they also provide understanding, patience, smiles and listening ears. It is a comfort to our clients' 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 of the food and supplies used to prepare the cold and hot meals is not fully covered by the prices that we charge the clients. We rely on donations to help cover the deficit, while keeping the meals affordable for our client base.
