Meals on Wheels 

Meals on Wheels provides homebound seniors and adults with disabilities a hot lunch to meet their nutritional needs. A network of volunteer drivers delivers the meals Monday through Friday between 11 a.m. to 1.p.m. Frozen meals are delivered Fridays for those needing meals for the weekend. Service area includes Missoula, Lolo, Clinton, Turah and Frenchtown.

Meals are prepared by the Providence Center under direction of a registered dietician. Special diets, such as diabetic, low salt and individual preferences, are accommodated.

Participants receiving Meals on Wheels may make a voluntary contribution to help cover the cost of the program. SNAP payments are also accepted.

Eligible seniors receive vouchers per household that can be used to purchase fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables at  Missoula farmers' markets from June until the market closes in October.
