Meals on Wheels is more than a meal. Friendly volunteers deliver a nourishing, freshly prepared noontime meal that is nutritionally balanced to provide one-third of a senior’s recommended daily nutrients. Volunteers have time for a brief chat and a safety check. Seniors who live alone feel more secure knowing that someone is checking on them regularly.

Meals on Wheels operates across Lane County and is provided by one of two organizations, depending on geographic location. Food for Lane County delivers in Eugene. Senior & Disability Services delivers in Springfield, Veneta, Florence, Junction City, Creswell, Cottage Grove and Oakridge.
