All home delivered meals are prepared locally and delivered to the home by a caring community member who also checks in on the meal recipient to ensure they are doing well that day. The meals are planned by a Registered Dietician and are healthy, nutritious, balanced. Meals are delivered Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday with a frozen meal available for Tuesday and Friday.

In order to receive these meals, an OFA Case Manager visits the home for an informal home evaluation to determine eligibility. Questions asked include: age, health problems, medications used and special diet information.

To be eligible for home delivered meals, you must be:

Age 60 or older
in need of support with meal preparation due to health, limitation in physical abilities, or inability to shop or cook for oneself
Without support from family, friends or neighbors to prepare meals OR caregiving for another in the home who is eligible

Contributions

OFA programs are funded by Federal, State, and Local governments, and from participants’ voluntary contributions. Donations have become more crucial in recent years given changes in funding. The suggested donation is $3.50 per meal. Cash, checks and SNAP are accepted.

Nutrition Education & Counseling

A Registered Dietician is available to provide free nutrition information and counseling. This service is especially recommended for anyone who is on a special diet or with specific dietary problems. Counseling can be conducted over the phone, at a community dining site, or at an individual’s home.
