WHO WE SERVE

Since 2010, Meals on Wheels Sacramento County has provided millions of nutritious meals to seniors aged 60 years or better in Sacramento County. We offer home-delivered meals to seniors who have difficulty leaving their homes or preparing food for themselves. We serve about two thousand Sacramento County seniors every week, and with the help of hundreds of volunteers and supporters, our program also provides friendly visits, status checks, and other safety-net services on top of home-delivered meals. In addition, older adults have the opportunity to socialize and receive a delicious lunch at one of our Community Cafes.

All of our meals are co-developed by a registered dietitian and our partner restaurants and meal vendors. With regular input from our participants, we strive to make sure that all of our meals are not only delicious, but also meet 1/3 of the Dietary Reference Intake for seniors to stay healthy and receive important nutrients.

The menu changes daily with a variety of entrées, including vegetarian meals . Meal enhancements , such as holiday meals and special desserts, are offered throughout the year (as available).
