Meals on Wheels:
Home-delivered Meals Programs
Join Aimee Davidson from Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island to learn about home delivered meal program and Private Pay home delivered meal program.
Meals on Wheels of RI’s Home-Delivered Meal Program was established in 1969 to help ensure the physical and mental well-being of homebound seniors. Today, Meals on Wheels of RI offer home-delivered meals as the only nonprofit meal delivery program of its kind in Rhode Island, serving approximately 1,312 seniors statewide each weekday, from Woonsocket to Westerly. Each weekday, drivers deliver complete and nutritious, fully-prepared meals that meets one-third of an older adult’s recommended daily dietary intake. Providing much more than a meal, MOWRI also ensure client safety through a daily well-being check, and work to lessen feelings of isolation and loneliness with a friendly visit with one of the drivers. Some clients’ meals are provided through grant and donor funding. MOWRI also offer Private Pay to clients seeking an immediate need for home-delivered meals and for those who may not meet established program eligibility.
A Sunshine Fund is now available for members and volunteers that enables attendance or participation in a program, event, celebration or performance when the cost would be an impediment. Individuals should contact Executive Director Caroline Gangji via email: caroline.gangji@villagecommonri.org
