Are the meals healthy?2022-09-20T13:55:53-07:00

Yes! Every meal is reviewed by a registered dietician and is in line with the American Diabetic & Heart Association’s moderate guidelines. Meals are low in fat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar and represent about 1/3 to 1/2 of the average older adult’s daily caloric intake and nutritional needs. We can provide some menu options to accommodate special diets and dietary preferences, such as low-sugar dessert options. Please inquire with the Meals on Wheels office regarding your particular dietary needs.
