MEALS

Our meals provide at least 1/3 of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for adults.  A registered dietitian plans the menus on a six-week rotation.  The meals are generally low in fat and prepared with little or no salt added.  Food is delivered hot and ready to eat in Styrofoam containers.  If the meal is not consumed at the time of delivery it should be refrigerated and later reheated in an oven-safe container.  Meals on Wheels was founded to provide those elderly and/or infirmed with hot, nutritious, dietetically correct, meals in their homes.  By doing so, the clients may be able to remain in their homes rather than move to a long-term facility.
