on Wheels". Nutritious meals are provided to persons

physical or mental impairment or otherwise isolated.
Each weekday, hot meals are delivered to frail homebound
older adults who are unable to prepare their own meals
and/or lack the support system for meal preparation.
The program offers diabetic alternative meals. While
there is no income eligibility requirement for “Meals
on Wheels”, Senior Services maintains a waiting
