HOME DELIVERED MEALS
MEALS ON WHEELS
The Home Delivered Meal Program is served to seniors living at home, and works to improve the nutrition of older adults. The program offers many seniors (age 60 or older) a sense of connection to the outside world. All meals provide at least one-third of the government`s daily-recommended dietary allowances. Meal deliverers check on the welfare of the homebound elderly and often become friends. The drivers are trained to report any health or other problems they may notice during their visits. Meals are delivered Monday through Friday, except holidays. These meals are commonly referred to as “Meals on Wheels.”
VOLUNTEER DRIVERS ARE NEEDED
The Preble County Council on Aging’s Home Delivered Meal Program needs volunteer drivers to work two to three hours a day delivering meals in their vehicle to senior citizens within Preble County. Volunteer drivers will have a dedicated route, and they can work, one, two, or more days per week, or just one day per month. Drivers will receive mileage reimbursement. Call for more information.
