Meals are prepared and delivered to homebound, frail elderly people who can no longer prepare nutritious, well-balanced meals, and who have no one to assist them and are in an at-risk situation. Also, liquid nutrition is available with a physician’s prescription. Often referred to generically as "Meals on Wheels." The community can specifically support this program financially by contributing to the Sharing Our Daily Bread campaign. 

Given the rural, mountainous geography, meals are delivered in a variety of ways. Those living in the most remote areas receive a two weeks supply of frozen dinners and are equipped with the means to heat the dinner themselves if that is needed. Those living in towns receive a hot delivered meal five days per week. 

Close to 900 older persons in MEOC's service area receive home-delivered meals yearly. 

Fees: No charge.  Contributions encouraged.

Eligibility:  Persons aged 60+ and homebound.

Intake Procedure:  Walk-ins and telephone referrals accepted.

Service Area:  Lee, Scott and Wise Counties, The City of Norton .
