Home Delivery

Home-delivered meals are available to qualified seniors five days a week in the area of McFarland, Town of Dunn, and Town of Pleasant Springs. A home assessment to determine qualifications is required within 30 days of beginning meals. Guidelines and expectations of the recipients are also explained.

Emergency Contact

An emergency contact is necessary upon signup in case we are unable to reach the recipient when delivering the meal. Part of the service is a check-in program. If a recipient is not available, the emergency contact is contacted. If it is observed to be a medical crisis, we will respond with emergency services. Meals are not available on certain holidays and will be cancelled with severe weather.

Suggested Donation

A monthly letter is sent to participants or their contacts with suggested donations based on meals provided. Currently the contribution requested for the meal site and home delivered meals is $4 meal. A person will not be denied by their inability to pay that cost.
