Home Delivered Meals

Meals on Wheels of Greater Lynchburg is a service designed to assist the frail elderly and younger disabled shut-ins by providing them with one balanced, nutritious, hot meal five days per week. The program is for those persons who cannot cook for themselves, have no one to cook for them and are unable to leave their homes for meals. This service allows people to stay in their homes, maintain some independence, and avoid living in costly institutions—a financial benefit to the client and the community.

Meals are delivered mid-day, Monday through Friday including most holidays. Volunteers deliver the meals in their own cars at their own expense, which helps keep the cost of meals low. Meals on Wheels serves people who live in the city of Lynchburg and the surrounding areas of Madison Heights, Amherst County, Campbell County, and Bedford County.

Nutritional supplements can be provided at the request of their physician. The delivery also provides a "check-in" on those who live alone.

Area served is Madison Heights, Rustburg, Forest and Lynchburg City.
