Meals on Wheels
ENOA’s Meals on Wheels program ensures that homebound older adults receive the nutrition they need to remain healthy, safe, and independent in their own homes.
For over 45 years, our volunteers and paid drivers have delivered hot nutritious noon meals, offering not only food, but social connection and peace of mind.
Who is Eligible?
Individuals aged 60 years or older who:
- Have difficulty with preparing meals due to physical or mental limitations
- Are homebound or unable to attend a senior center
- Lack adequate cooking facilities or the ability to acquire them
- Do not have dependable and sustainable nutritional support from family or caregivers
- Agree to an initial assessment and periodic reassessment
What is provided?
Menus are planned to ensure that each meal offers at least 1/3 of the Dietary Reference Intake for an older adult. Each meal contains a protein, grain, vegetables, milk, and either fruit or dessert depending on the menu.
Service Area
Cass, Dodge, Douglas, Sarpy, and Washington counties.
