Home Delivered Meals

Volunteers bring a meal each weekday right to the door of homebound elderly neighbors. With the meal, they also bring a friendly greeting and a quick check of the recipient's well being. Any individual who is too frail to be able to shop and prepare an adequate meal for herself or himself can receive a home delivered meal from one of our senior centers.

If a volunteer attempts to deliver a meal, and no one answers the door, the volunteer will make emergency calls.

No meals are delivered on major holidays or announced "snow days," so volunteers bring an extra frozen meal to use when fresh meals are not delivered.

Anyone with health concerns that require a special diet should let the program know, so we can accommodate their needs. All meals are prepared with no added salt. Contributions to defray the cost of home-delivered meals are requested, but not required. Anyone who needs to have meals delivered to her or his home can sign up for the service through the closest senior center.
