Meals on Wheels provides excellent value for what you receive – a freshly prepared, ready-to-eat meal delivered right to your door. While we ask for a modest contribution toward your meals, the price is based on need. Meals may be authorized as part of home- and community-based waivered services through Medicaid waivers, and other subsidy programs can also help cover the cost of meal delivery service. If you have questions about funding options for your clients, call us at (612) 623-3363.
In Minnesota, older adults and individuals living with a disability may qualify for subsidized meals through medicare or medicaid food delivery programs. Under the Elderly Wavier and Alternative Care (AC) program, for example, recipients 65 and older can receive funding for home and community-based services (HCBS) to help support them while they live at home or in a community setting (according to the Minnesota Department of Human Services).
Meals on Wheels happily offers low-sugar, low-sodium meal options, as well as vegetarian options. Simply specify your client’s dietary needs when you enroll them for service.
Kosher, Somali/Halal meals and other culturally specific meal options are available in many areas. You can specify cultural meal preferences when you complete the online meal delivery form or when you call us at 612-623-3363.
