Meals On Wheels of Wake County
About Us
The mission of Meals on Wheels of Wake County is:
- To provide nutritious meals to the frail, homebound senior adults and adults with disabilities in order to improve health, reduce isolation, and prevent inappropriate institutionalization
- To serve nutritious meals and provide social and educational opportunities to persons 60 and over in congregate nutrition sites to promote independent living
Meals on Wheels of Wake County serves 1,300 noontime meals every weekday to adults in Wake County who are elderly, homebound or have disabilities. In addition to the hot meals delivered to homebound individuals and served at the congregate dining sites, frozen meals are delivered to dialysis patients and other homebound individuals who live in isolated areas of Wake County.
Some individuals receive Meals on Wheels while recovering from illness or surgery, while others need meals indefinitely. Meals on Wheels does not serve special diet meals, but clients can adapt the menu to their daily dietary needs. Home-delivered meals are delivered Monday through Friday by more than 2,200 volunteers.
