Nutrition

The Agency provides a well-balanced (1/3 RDA-recommended daily allowance) hot lunch meal for delivery to residents of Dauphin County who have been determined to be eligible for the program by the Agency's Care Management Unit because of physical, mental, or emotional disability, and without a caregiver who is able to provide meals on a regular basis. 

Lunch meals are delivered five days a week (Monday through Friday) by volunteers who observe, in the brief contact, the well being of the homebound individual receiving the meal. The volunteers are recruited by community "Meals-on-Wheels" organizations. Recipients are encouraged to make a voluntary contribution toward the cost of the meals according to their financial ability.
 
To request home delivered meals, please contact the Dauphin County Area Agency on Aging at (717) 780-6130.
