Since adequate nutrition is critical to health, functioning, and the quality of life, Meals On Wheels of C.E.F.S. is an important component of home and community-based services for seniors over 60 years of age.   

​Congregate programs promote dignity and independence for seniors. The group dining program provides a socially interactive network which promotes mentally healthy activity and decreases creeping isolation and depression.  Group dining provides a healthy meal, friendship, and fun to seniors over 60 years of age. 

​A home-delivered meal is so much more than a meal…it not only provides a hot nutritious meal but just as importantly, provides a daily check on the home-bound senior by a caring volunteer on a daily basis.  A hot nutritious meal and a few moments of companionship can sometimes be enough to prevent early institutionalization for home-bound seniors.

Open Hours

Meal served at 5:00 p.m. first Tuesday of every month.
