"MEALS ON WHEELS"
SAAA’s
“Meals on Wheels” program provides homebound seniors a
nutritious hot meal delivered to their home. Five meals per week are
provided. Hot meals are delivered four days per week, along with a
fifth frozen meal.
Meals are delivered Monday through Thursday in
Frederick and Page counties and the City of Winchester; and Tuesday
through Friday in Clarke, Shenandoah and Warren counties.
Clients
are charged for “Meals on Wheels” on a sliding fee scale according to
income.
