How to Apply
Applicants can choose to submit an application online or complete a print-out version and mail it in to our main downtown office. Please submit one application per person. Due to limited funding and a substantial demand for our program, we currently maintain an open-ended waiting list for program access. If you wish to explore our private payment alternative, which entails a cost of $8.50 per meal and requires a minimum order of seven meals, please indicate your preference on your application. Furthermore, we are accepting applications from individuals whose meals are covered by COPES, New Freedom, and PACE – Providence.
Mobile Market
Mobile Market is a component of our Meals on Wheels program. We provide fresh groceries and liquid supplements to homebound older adults at competitive prices with no delivery fee. This makes it easier for older adults, who can no longer shop for themselves, live well and remain independent. To apply for Mobile Market, please fill out the above Meals on Wheels application.
