Meals but so much more:
Nutritious Meal: Healthy eating is the very foundation of good health, a strong immune system, feeling good and managing health conditions. We deliver three nutritious meals each day to your door.
A Friendly Face: Our caring Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver a smile and a friendly chat with your meal.
Safety Check: A daily visit means someone is making sure all is well or that in case of an emergency or problem medics will be called and families are notified.
Daily Meals include breakfast, lunch, and dinner Monday – Friday.
Each meal is cooked by Meals on Wheels Orange County staff in our 22,000 square foot kitchen in Anaheim.
Meals on Wheels Orange County means there is a caring person paying attention to your wellness and providing you connections to community services.
Wellness assessments: Quarterly home visits and telephone contact with a Meals on Wheels Orange County Case Manager.
Home safety: Modifications and assistive devices to help keep your home a safe place.

Clyde
“It’s the worst thing that can happen to you. [Losing the ability to drive] was the hardest thing outside of losing my wife. You’re completely dependent on somebody else to get you where you want to go. It’s very hard to lose that license.”
Clyde could no longer get himself to the store or prepare meals. He anguished over whether he could remain living in the home he loved. Clyde’s sister checked in with Meals on Wheels Orange County. “I was having trouble [Meals on Wheels] came out and talked to me and signed me up. It’s been the greatest thing ever to happen.”
