“Many seniors are not as mobile as they’d like to be and often have to depend on others to help meet many of their basic
needs. Meals on Wheels makes sure homebound seniors have meals delivered to their homes by someone who really cares how they are doing. I get to know the seniors on my route and I visit with them to make sure they’re safe and well.”
- Meals on Wheels volunteer

Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver hot, nutritious noon-time meals to homebound seniors who are unable to shop for food or prepare meals for themselves. This program is not just about delivering food; it also gives clients a sense of security. Each weekday, Meals on Wheels recipients know someone is going to come to their home around lunchtime and bring them a hot meal,
providing a daily check to make sure they’re doing well.

In addition to meals and a daily visit, Meals on Wheels provides seniors with nutrition education and if needed, counseling to help them make appropriate food choices. Frozen meals are also available for weekends. Our goal is to help keep seniors healthy and in their homes for as long as is practical.

While many seniors are eligible to receive Meals on Wheels through funded programs subject to availability, SRA also makes Meals on Wheels available on a private pay basis to seniors who would benefit from this
essential service.
