Entrees are $6.50 and include a side and vegetable, soups are $1.50. Frozen meals are available for ordering once monthly. Orders are due the 3rd Wednesday of each month, with delivery at the end of each month either by pick up or delivery. Excellent option for those days you spend wondering, “what’s for dinner tonight?”
“When COVID hit, we as a family decided to try meals-on-wheels for our mom. My mom would like to thank everyone involved in making this program available, she absolutely loved the food, and the delivery staff that went above and beyond. For family, this was invaluable to us.”
“Living so far from my father proves to be challenging in many ways. I am extremely grateful for the Meals-on-Wheels program knowing that he can have a warm, nutritious meal delivered to him, a few times a week, is a comfort.”
