... to clients while making contactless deliveries

New Client Eligibility & About Meals

Eligibility

Meals on Wheels clients must be 60 years of age or older, homebound or prepare regular nutritious meals for themselves, and have no one else available to do so.

About the Meals

Seven meals are delivered once a week between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Fresh milk and bread (or a preferred grain food) are delivered on an alternating basis.

Each individually packaged meal exceeds one-third of the recommended dietary allowance for older adults.

Contactless Meal Delivery

Meals on Wheels is continuing to deliver nutritious food to clients while taking precautions to practice social distancing.

Volunteers place bagged meals near the front door on a table/chair or door handle, ring the doorbell or knock, and move back at least 6 feet as they wait for you to collect the meals with a friendly greeting.

If you see the volunteer approaching the door, you do not need to open the door to be handed the meals. Volunteers will place the bagged meals on the table/chair or door handle.

Enroll to Receive Meals

There is no payment requirement to receive meals. Instead, a contribution request letter is mailed monthly to clients. No senior is denied enrollment for meals due to inability to contribute.

This non-profit program exists to provide nutritious meals and social, emotional support services for homebound seniors in West Contra Costa County.
