Access to nutritious food is important for healthy aging. AgeSpan offers a variety of nutrition services designed to help people stay healthy and independent in their community. Services are provided at no cost to eligible individuals.
Home-delivered Meals
Our Meals on Wheels program delivers more than 850,000 meals every year throughout our service area. The program provides adults 60 and older and qualified individuals with disabilities with a hot meal delivered to their door, five days a week.
Medically Tailored Meals
Chronic health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease are often better managed and controlled through good nutrition. We deliver a variety of medically tailored meals to meet individual needs.
Culturally Appropriate Meals
We want the food we provide to be as diverse as the communities we serve. We can deliver the meals for our community members who prefer to follow a nutritious Latino or Asian diet.
