The Program: Let someone else do the cooking for a change! The Kosher Meals on Wheels
staff understands that it can often be difficult to prepare nutritious meals. Our program provides
lunch-time meals to older adults who are no longer able to cook. Trained volunteers deliver
Kosher meals Monday through Friday, rain or shine. Services are provided at a minimal cost,
based on income. Our devoted volunteers are each assigned regular routes and check on
each participant at delivery. Of course, there is no delivery charge.
How it Works: A Kosher Meals on Wheels staff member speaks with the older adult or
his/her family member seeking a delivered meal and one of our care managers will schedule
time to visit.
Our Staff: Sometimes having a stranger come into the home can be worrying, especially for
older adults. That is why we pay extra attention to screening our volunteers. All Kosher Home
Delivered Meals volunteers undergo a thorough screening process, which includes a lengthy
interview, criminal background checks, driving record checks, drug screening and reference
verification.
Who is Eligible: Any older adult (age 60+) who enjoys good food and appreciates good
people. Our program is non-sectarian.
