Meals on Wheels is MACOA's flagship program. Every Monday through Friday, MACOA volunteers deliver hot, nutritious lunchtime meals to homebound seniors who are unable to prepare their own meals. This vital program is a source of much-needed nutrition, provides welcome daily contact with senior clients and serves as a means to regularly check recipients' welfare.
This organization's greatest need is volunteer Meals on Wheels drivers. MACOA has made a commitment to their Meals on Wheels clients to deliver a hot meal to them every week day. Food insecurity is a serious issue among 1 in 6 senior adults. MACOA Meals on Wheels drivers help remedy this issue as well as provide a safety check and combat isolation – visiting clients each day. A route consists of approximately 10-12 stops and would only take an hour or so to complete.
