Grab & Go Meals

To ensure social distancing and avoid congregating per the State of California Stay Home order, the Meals on Wheels OC Lunch Café program for all adults age 60-plus, which normally provides a hot lunch in social settings at local senior and community centers in central and north Orange County, is now providing grab & go frozen meals that can be picked up at the centers.

Registered Lunch Café participants can have a family or friend pick up meals by providing the name and address of the participant.  New, unregistered participants may have someone pick up meals as long as that person has the ID for the individual for whom meals are intended.

Meal recipients are given the opportunity to provide a voluntary contribution for meals, and no one will be turned away due to the inability to contribute.

Since our COVID-19 response is rapidly changing, our website should be checked daily after 9 a.m. because times and locations may change.

Home-Delivered Meals

Traditionally, Home-Delivered Meals on Wheels are intended for homebound older adults age 60-plus who are not able to cook for themselves.  During the COVID-19 outbreak, we are working with local cities to deliver frozen meals to the homes of older adults who do not have someone who can pick up meals for them at the senior centers.
