Mobile Meal Program
Meals on Wheels provide balanced meals consisting of meat or other protein food, vegetables, fruit, bread, milk and dessert (diabetic desserts are provided for those who are diabetic.) The meals are available Monday thru Thursday in Price and East Carbon. Frozen meals can be delivered for the weekend upon request. When a client knows they will not be home to receive a meal, we ask to be notified in advance.
Each participant must be assessed and those individuals who have been determined to be “homebound” will be eligible to receive meals. Income is not used to determine eligibility for the program. Those who qualify will be reassessed annually.
Participants 60 years and older are provided the opportunity to voluntarily and anonymously contribute a suggested donation of $3.00 per meal. All donations are appreciated.
