What is Meals on Wheels?

Meals on Wheels is a home delivered meal service for persons who are unable to prepare their own meals, primarily the frail elderly who are confined to their homes.

Some of the referrals are done by doctors, health agencies or social services agencies.

At times there are concerned citizens who step in and refer a person in need.

It is hard to understand and to admit that we can not do what we used to do. This is the case of some seniors who know that now they can't cook or fend for themselves. Asking for help is not an easy task and so the Meals on Wheels staff try to make the service a step in the recovery process instead of a long term commitment.
