Meals on Wheels:
Last year we served
over 82,000 noontime meals
(approx. 375 per day) to almost 1,400 seniors, 60 years and older,
throughout Yolo County-Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Esparto, Knights
Landing and Woodland.
Meals on Wheels is a world-wide concept with
organizations everywhere, who provide nutritious meals to people who are
homebound and/or disabled, or would otherwise be unable to maintain
their dietary needs. The daily delivery consists of a meal; a
nutritionally balanced meal to eat at lunch time.
In an effort both to
cover costs and to maintain the elders' sense of dignity, the program
asks a small fee based on the individual's ability to pay.
These payments are entirely voluntary, no one is
refused a meal due to their inability to pay.
Our seniors must rely
upon us, and our program relies on our sponsors, donors and volunteers
to help us serve the needs of our Yolo County seniors.
Our Vision
No senior will go hungry in Yolo County.
Our Mission
To
nourish and enrich the lives of individuals in
Yolo County with emphasis on those age
60 and older, by providing
nutritious meals
to active and homebound people; thereby, promoting their health,
well-being and independence.
