Home-Delivered Meals

The Home-Delivered Meals program provides a hot, nutritious meal to person who are:

• Aged 60 and over
• Essentially homebound
• Are unable to prepare adequate meals on their own
• Caregivers or spouses who are in need of respite meals
• Disabled-co-resident of an individual aged 60 or over who receives meals

Disabled persons under the age of 60 may receive meals at full cost. Persons are referred by social workers, doctors, family members or self. Meals are provided on a short or long term basis. Short term meals are typically provided for those recovering from surgery or illness.

Contributions

Anyone who receives this service is asked to contribute toward the cost of the meal. Contributions are confidential and no one will be denied because of their inability to contribute. The contribution request is $6.50 per meal. In order to ensure satisfaction with this program and to provide additional nutritional support and education, the ADRC Outreach Coordinator conducts home visits with individuals served by the Home-Delivered Meals Program.

Volunteers Needed

We are looking for volunteers to help deliver meals to homebound participants. Volunteers are needed Monday through Thursday from 11am to Noon.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact our Outreach Coordinator by email or by phone 715-381-4364.
