Meals on Wheels

The Meals on Wheels program is a nutrition program for frail elderly persons living in Hall County. Approximately 500 seniors receive hot lunches delivered by friendly volunteers each Monday through Friday. For some seniors, this daily visit may be the only social interaction they have during the day. Volunteers are also able to make referrals to staff when they notice that clients may have other social services needs. When a senior begins receiving meals, the staff ensures that they have working smoke detectors and a numbered mailbox.

The Meals on Wheels program is nationally accredited through the Meals on Wheels Association of America.
