Hot food is prepared from scratch and delivered Monday through Friday throughout Cumberland and York counties. Volunteers deliver meals directly to the doors of homebound seniors. Family and friends can rest assured that their loved one will have a friendly visitor. To volunteer, call 1-800-400-[MEAL]6325.
Meals on Wheels is a program for people who cannot easily leave home to buy groceries or cook due to the physical limitations that may come along with aging. Sometimes, a temporary health problem is all it takes to disrupt the normal cooking routine—just when good nutrition is necessary to heal and recover from surgery or illness. It is OK to get Meals on Wheels on a short-term basis.
To refer someone or ask about getting Meals on Wheels, call 1-800-400-[MEAL] 6325.
