Meals on Wheels Rowan provides vital nutrition support to homebound seniors in Rowan County who face challenges accessing meals or groceries due to limited mobility, transportation, or income. Our services help older adults maintain their independence, health, and dignity while aging safely in the comfort of their own homes.
Each weekday, dedicated volunteers deliver nourishing meals, offer a friendly greeting, and check for any signs of safety concerns or changes in well-being.
We promote healthy eating through nutritious meals and educational resources. In addition, Care Coordinators connect participants with referrals for additional services such as transportation, home repair, in-home aid, senior daycare, etc.
