Home Delivered Meals

We’ve learned to never underestimate the power of a good meal. Our Home Delivered Meals are developed by our Executive Chef and Registered Dietitian, prepared in our Grandville kitchen, and delivered by volunteers to eligible seniors in Allegan and Kent Counties. Over the years, we’ve been able to see the huge difference this can make in a senior’s life. After all, there’s a reason we’re called Meals on Wheels.

How it works

Our Home Delivered Meals Program is designed to be a convenient way for seniors in need to get nutritious, delicious meals. Check out the steps to see how it works!

Step 1: Apply

Eligible seniors apply for our Home Delivered Meals program. Once they’re approved, our team gets to work!

Step 2: Balance

Our Executive Chef and Registered Dietitian develop a variety of healthy, delicious meals with our clients in mind.

Step 3: Prepare

Our skilled cooks prepare each meal from scratch in our kitchen in Grandville. The meals are then packaged, frozen and ready to deliver.

Step 4: Deliver

A Meals on Wheels Western Michigan driver delivers the food to eligible local seniors. They bring more than a meal—for many of our clients, they’re also the only person to visit all week!

Step 5: Enjoy

Our clients get to enjoy a nutritious and tasty meal that was prepared with them in mind.

Types of Home Delivered Meals

No two seniors are alike. That’s why we offer a wide range of meal types to address concerns like difficulty chewing, dietary restrictions, and food preferences.

Frozen Meals

Frozen meals are delivered ready to heat in a microwave or oven to enjoy! These meals typically contain an entrée, two vegetables, a grain, fruit, and milk. Each meal comes with heating instructions. For best results, we recommend letting them thaw in the refrigerator overnight first. Most of our frozen meals can come pre-cut for seniors who may have a hard time using a knife and fork to slice their food.

Choice Meals

Most people enjoy choosing their meals. With our Choice Meals, clients can pick the frozen meals they’d like from a menu. It’s a great solution for those who have limitations due to personal, cultural, religious, or medical reasons. It’s also a great plan for anyone who simply wants a little bit more control over their meals. Each meal is available in multiple quantities and is listed in our menu alongside its nutritional information.

Minced & Moist or Pureed Meals

Minced & Moist or Pureed Meals are designed to be convenient meals for those who may have difficulty chewing or swallowing.
