Meals on Wheels is a community-based program, relying on more than 400 volunteers to ensure meals are delivered Monday-Friday all throughout Rockingham County. We have two delivery programs, dependent upon location:
Inside the City Limits
Hot meals are delivered Monday – Friday before the noontime hour.
Outside the City Limits
You will be placed on our frozen meal program which has distribution points throughout the county. Meals are picked up by a family member or delivered by a volunteer every two weeks.
Program Eligibility
In order to qualify for the Meals on Wheels program you must meet the following criteria:
- Rockingham County resident
- 60 years of age or older
- Homebound, except for medical appointments
- Experiencing difficulty with meal preparation
- Lack anyone willing or able to provide a noonday meal
As the demand for meals increases and the population of older adults grows, we maintain a waiting list for the Meals on Wheels service. We are thankful for all the community support that helps fund this program.
