800 Meals Delivered Every Weekday
Our program provides a meal every weekday for approximately 3,500 senior citizens annually; a total of 350,000 meals per year. We also offer a limited weekend and holiday meal program for homebound seniors who have no one else to care for them. The program is available for those over age 60 and a limited number of disabled persons under the age of 60. All meals are provided by Eat Clean Bro, a local, healthy meal prep company.
Our program is funded by Monmouth County grants, USDA reimbursement, and donations from meal program participants and generous donors.
More Than A Meal
For a homebound senior, our Meals on Wheels program provides a vital link to the world. The senior can remain comfortably at home with the dignity of independence and the security of having someone visit once a day with a nutritious meal. Also, the warm smile of one of our wonderful volunteers or caring Meals on Wheels drivers is important to them and often serves as a wellness check.
