Meals
The Preble County Council on Aging proudly provides hot, nutritious meals to older adults both at Jack & Betty’s Diner and through our Home Delivered Meals program for seniors living throughout Preble County.
Our Home Delivered Meals (HDM) drivers do more than deliver a meal — they also provide a friendly check-in and are trained to recognize and report any health, safety, or wellness concerns noticed during their visit. Please call for eligibility requirements and additional information.
Jack & Betty’s Diner is open to the public Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
We invite you to stop by and enjoy a great meal and great company!

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. For more information call 937.456.4947
