We deliver meals to the doorstep of seniors (60 or older) who are homebound, unable to drive to get food, and do not have a caregiver that prepares their meals. Our meal delivery drivers also provide a safety check, and at times, are the only person the seniors we serve see all day.
We make every effort to start delivering meals to you as soon as possible. To sign up or learn more, call 925.937.8311 or email us at info@mowdr.org.
We deliver meals to seniors (60 years or older) who are homebound, unable to prepare food themselves and do not have a caregiver that prepares meals. Meals are provided based on need, not on income.
We deliver meals between 10am and 12pm, Monday through Friday. Holiday and weekend meals are also available. Your volunteer driver can deliver your meal to the door or bring it to the kitchen for you, whichever you prefer.
Each nutritious meal is designed by a Registered Dietitian and supplies 1/3 of the daily dietary needs for an older adult. Entrees include beef, chicken, pork, fish, and pasta. We can accommodate a low-salt diet. You’ll receive a new menu at the beginning of each month, so you can see what meals will be delivered.
Meals are provided free of charge. You will be asked for a suggested donation, but we do not turn anyone away who cannot contribute.
Yes, you must be home. We cannot leave meals outside for food safety reasons. We also want to see how you are doing and find out if you need anything. Your meal will be delivered around the same time, so you’ll know when to expect us. If you know that you are not going to be home, call us in advance to let us know. We will not deliver your meal that day.
