Home Delivered Meals, Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels of Charlottesville/Albemarle depend on volunteers to deliver nutritious meals to homebound residents of the Charlottesville/Albemarle area who find it difficult or impossible to prepare meals for themselves.

Meals are delivered at lunchtime every Monday through Friday, including all holidays that fall on weekdays.  Meals are prepared under the supervision of a registered dietitian.  Medically approved diets that are available include diabetic, renal, sodium-restricted, heart healthy, vegetarian and soft or pureed food.

Some clients can pay the full cost of their meals and the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA) provides subsidies for certain individuals over age 60 who meet their eligibility requirements. The majority of our clients receive meals paid for through community contributions made directly to Meals on Wheels. Contracts with JABA to provide meals in the Charlottesville area.
