Is There Any Cost for the Meals?
There are several programs under the Meals on Wheels:
OAA Services is a federal government-funded program that provides meals to seniors in need of assistance. Donations are accepted.
Private / Full Pay Services: This program offers the meals to clients who do not qualify for the service or do not want to go through the evaluation process. The cost of the meals is $7.20 per meal.
Recovery / Emergency Services: Emergency meals are offered for a limited time to seniors that suddenly find themselves in need. These meals can help them while they heal or until otherpermanent arrangements can be made. Donations are requested.
Local Services: This service is used to assist the clients that can't afford to pay for the service, don't meet the criteria for the other services or are waiting for the OAA service. Donations are requested.
