Let’s get started!
One of our care managers will help you figure out if you are eligible for Meals on Wheels or other nutrition services.
Weather Cancellations
Occasionally, severe weather causes us to cancel meal deliveries and our senior dining sites. When that happens, we will post a message to our voicemail by 7am. (Call 781-324-7705 to check.) Action Ambulance also sends out a 9:30am notification. You may check the following media outlets:
Support Meals on Wheels
Make a donation to support Meals on Wheels and nutrition services for older adults, or attend our annual comedy show fundraiser.
Meals on Wheels
Every weekday we deliver well-balanced lunches to thousands of older adults in our service region. These dietitian-approved meals provide one-third of your daily nutrients and help to boost your immune system, maintain healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels, support brain function, and prevent disease.
Meals typically arrive between 9am and 1:30pm. Cultural meals and special dietary options are available. There is a suggested donation of $2/meal but no one is ever turned away.

Through Meals on Wheels, we serve almost 700,000 meals to elders every year.
Senior Dining
Get a well-balanced lunch while socializing with older adults in your community. Our senior dining program offers the same menu dietician-advised lunches as our Meals on Wheels program. These meals are served at several senior living sites across the region. They are open to all older adults in the area.
Lunch is generally served at or close to noon. Cultural meal options are available at some sites and special dietary options are available at all sites. There is a suggested donation of $2 per meal but no one is ever turned away. Guests under 60 years of age are welcome to join us for lunch for $3.50.
Please call the dining site directly to make your reservation, at least 24 hours in advance.
