For the "Meal Service" Program - You will receive 5 freshly prepared dinner-style meals each week. Each meal includes a protein, a starch, and a vegetable, providing about one-third of your daily nutrition needs. We also deliver a quart of milk or juice weekly, 4-5 servings of whole grain bread, a dessert, fresh fruit servings, and fresh salad. Meals come in microwave- and oven-safe trays with heating instructions on each tray. The trays are recyclable and made from recycled materials.
We provide meals with no added salt on a rotating 4-week menu. Currently, we cannot accommodate special dietary restrictions or preferences.
Our meals are offered on a sliding scale based on your income and savings. Costs range from $1.75 to $7.00 per meal ($35 to $140 per month). We look at your financial situation to determine the right amount. Payments are made monthly by credit or debit card. We also accept SNAP benefits as a payment method.
Once we receive your completed enrollment paperwork, meal delivery usually begins the following week. In some cases, there may be a waitlist, and we will contact you as soon as service is available.
You can receive meals as long as you remain eligible. We check in twice a year to update your information and confirm your continued eligibility.
Meals are delivered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, usually between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
You must be home to accept your meal delivery. If you have an appointment or will be away, please call us at least 48 hours in advance to cancel your delivery. We can provide extra frozen meals ahead of time to make sure you don’t miss any meals. We cannot deliver to other addresses or leave food unattended.
