Delivering More Than a Meal
Serving Homebound People of All Ages and Incomes.
No matter why a person is homebound – chronic illness, frailty, disability, recent surgery or other physical or mental health issues they face two major difficulties: poor nutrition and isolation. Meals on Wheels West helps prevent both by Delivering More Than a Meal to homebound people of all ages and incomes.
Our friendly calls and in-person Wellness Checks alleviate loneliness while monitoring health & wellness.
