How We Serve
We provide nutritious meals to people who are homebound and unable to shop or cook for themselves – because of age, disability, or illness.
Ways to Give
Our caring staff conducts regular well-being check-ins during meal deliveries. This ensures that aging adults receive the support they need to maintain their health. We’re not just a meal; we’re a lifeline to better physical and emotional health.
Volunteer
We empower aging adults to maintain their independence with our “More than a meal℠” service. Beyond food, we provide resources, education, and home safety assessments. Our goal is to enable seniors to live safely and comfortably in their own homes for as long as possible.
