Supporting Seniors with Meals That Matter

The Meals on Wheels program provides hot, noontime meals for those who are unable to shop or cook for themselves.

Although Meals on Wheels primarily serves frail seniors, it is available to all Martin County residents who have a need for this service, whether on a permanent or temporary basis, such as after surgery.

A Volunteer Effort

Our team of dedicated volunteers delivers over 500 meals each weekday throughout Martin County. Meals are delivered to clients' homes Monday through Friday, between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Frozen weekend meals can be delivered upon request. Full week or partial week service is also available. The program accommodates a wide range of therapeutic diets for those with special needs.

More than a Meal

By being part of the Meals on Wheels program, our clients gain a vital safety net beyond the guarantee of a hot, healthy lunch. For many clients, the daily delivery is their only consistent opportunity for social interaction with another person. When our volunteers deliver a meal, they actively check our clients' well-being.

They are trained to respond to emergencies, and on many occasions have been instrumental in saving the life of a client in distress. Meals on Wheels is much more than a home-delivered meal ... it is a "well-check."

All inquiries regarding Meals on Wheels can be directed to our Meal Services Department by calling 772-223-7826.

Diets

Our Meals on Wheels program offers many therapeutic diets, including those listed below. All meals meet one-third of the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for those age 60 and over. Although a specific diabetic diet is not available, our regular meals are approved for stable diabetics.

We will review your dietary requirements with you or your designated representative when you sign up for Meals on Wheels, and will develop a menu to accommodate any special needs you may have.

Volunteer

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Meals on Wheels program. Without the generous assistance of helpers throughout Martin County, we could not bring hot, home-delivered meals on an affordable basis to hundreds of needy seniors every day.
