Meals on Wheels

The Meals on Wheels program is currently accepting new clients. For more information and to determine your eligibility, please call 914-381-7849 and ask for Alicia Nowlin-Downey.

The Meals on Wheels program provides a nutritious midday meal to senior citizens living in the Town of Mamaroneck, Village of Mamaroneck, and Village of Larchmont who are home-bound and unable to prepare meals for themselves.

Program Eligibility Requirements:

Any resident age 60 or older who is home-bound, ill, disabled, and/or convalescing, and is unable to prepare meals, may be eligible.

To Apply:

Preliminary information can be taken over the phone, however, an initial home visit is required to confirm eligibility in order to begin receiving meals. A follow up home visit is conducted every six months thereafter to determine ongoing eligibility.

If Approved:  Once we have all of the necessary information, we will contact you with the details of your meal delivery. Most residents receive their first meal within one to two days.
