Volunteers deliver thousands of meals through the Meals-On-Wheels program, Monday through Friday. As the elderly population continues to grow so does the need for Meals on Wheels services in the Cincinnati suburbs. The Meals on Wheels program expanded to serve an average of 300 clients per month with 86,783 meals throughout the year. Frozen meals are provided for weekends. Meals are available on a donation basis. To arrange home delivered meals, call (513) 686-1003 or email our Outreach Coordinator.
