Meals on Wheels

This is a non-profit volunteer service of meal delivery for people of any age or income who are unable to prepare a nutritious, balanced meal for themselves. Volunteers deliver a hot and cold meal Monday through Friday. Regular, diabetic and low sodium diets are accommodated. Meals are available on a short- or long-term basis for a nominal fee. A sliding fee scale is used for seniors with low, fixed incomes.

Friendly Shoppers

Friendly Shoppers provide grocery shopping assistance to people who are essentially isolated and/or home bound through weekly trips to the local food stores. The senior has the choice of accompanying the volunteer or creating a list of items needed.

Friendly Visitors

Friendly Visitors provide companionship and friendship to people who are essentially isolated and/or home bound through regular, social visits. Volunteers may read aloud, help with writing, play games or even just sit and watch television. On occasion, when possible, special outings may also be planned.
