Meals on Wheels
Meals on Wheels brings meals to people over 60 who are homebound and unable to prepare their own meals.
The menu is varied and the meals are nutritionally balanced, cooked without added salt, and consist of a hot dinner, dessert (diabetic desserts can be ordered in advance), milk, bread and margarine.
We offer soft, ground and pureed food, as well as Kosher, Latino, low-lactose, Renal, and heart-healthy menus.
Meals are delivered between 9 AM and Noon, Monday
through Friday, except holidays. If you’re isolated and homebound, you can arrange for frozen
meals that you can use over the weekend.
We ask for a small donation per meal to help us pay for the program.
The suggested donation amount is reflected in a monthly statement. But we never deny anyone a meal if they can't afford to donate.
It’s easy to start delivery of Meals on Wheels. Simply call Information & Referral
at 781-599-0110.
Community Cafés
Throughout our service area, you will find places to enjoy a healthy, affordable meal usually
located within a local senior center or housing facility. These Community Cafés
provide an opportunity for you to get together with your friends... meet new people... have a reason to
get up and out... enjoy a hot, nutritious meal at a reasonable price... stretch your budget... maybe play
a game of cards.
Transportation to some sites can be arranged. Please call your nearest site for details. During
bad weather, call GLSS at 781-599-0110 for site closing information.
