Meals on Wheels is designed for senior citizens unable to prepare meals for themselves. A volunteer delivers a meal directly to the homebound senior citizen's door. The meals help ensure that seniors receive a nutritious hot meal and are able to stay in their own homes, preventing or delaying nursing home placement.
