Our Services
Meals on Wheels provides nutritious meals to individuals—often seniors—who may have difficulty preparing food, especially after surgery or an extended hospital stay. In Altadena, at least 20% of the population are senior citizens, many of whom choose to age in place. A large number do not qualify for the LA County frozen-meal program or face long waiting lists. AMOW fills this critical gap by offering immediate meal delivery, whether short-term or long-term.
Hot meals are delivered weekly, Monday through Friday, to any resident unable to prepare or shop for nutritious food, regardless of the reason. Our purpose is to provide nourishing meals at a minimal cost to individuals who cannot cook, drive, shop, or leave their homes for extended periods.
By combining reliable home delivery, nutritional support, flexibility, and community involvement, Meals on Wheels offers a comprehensive solution that supports independence, recovery, and overall well-being for residents facing health challenges.
