Home Delivered Meals
Program Description: Frozen home delivered meals are delivered to an eligible client or other eligible participant at the client’s place of residence.
Voluntary contributions are accepted; however, no eligible individual will be turned away for inability to contribute.
Home delivered meals may be provided to persons who reside in Calaveras County and meet eligibility requirements: 1) age 60+; 2) spouse, regardless of age, of a 60+ participant; or 3) disabled, regardless of age, and live with a home delivered meal participant age 60+. Through an in-home assessment, it must be documented that eligible participants are: 1) unable to shop for their own groceries or prepare nutritious meals in their own home because of limited physical mobility, inability to safely prepare meals, or psychological or mental impairment; and 2) are without support from family, friends, or other community-based services to provide them meals or transport them to a nutrition site.
