Meals on Wheels

Nutritious meals, delivered with care.

Merrick’s Meals on Wheels program delivers nutritious midday meals to older adults and people with disabilities who are homebound, unable to prepare meals on their own, or experiencing food insecurity. We’ll help you understand eligibility, meal options, delivery, and next steps.
