Meals on Wheels provides nutritious meals to homebound seniors. Menus are planned by a registered dietician, and meals are delivered to your home by volunteers, Monday-Friday 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m., year round (some holidays excluded). Meals include an entrée, vegetable, fruit, bread, and milk. There is no charge, but an income-based donation is suggested.
Meals on Wheels delivers to most areas within the Huntsville city limits. Please click here to see coverage area for other nutrition centers within Madison County.
Meals on Wheels is for individuals ages 60 or over, residing in the Huntsville city limits, primarily homebound, and unable to cook for themselves or have no one residing with them to prepare meals. Income is not a determining factor.
Volunteer
Through Meals on Wheels we serve 235 homebound individuals in Huntsville each month. Delivering this many meals requires many hands – more than 500 volunteers a month – and we can use your help!
Adopt-a-route
The Meal on Wheels Adopt-a-route program is an easy, yet effective way for companies, organizations, and churches to get involved in our local community. With as few as four to five people, a group could adopt five routes and deliver once a month. Many participating groups feel the program improves camaraderie by giving members the chance to work together on a project that serves the community. Contact Lisa Allport, (256) 382-0920, or mow.coord@seniorview.com, for additional information.
Delivery Volunteer
Join us as a driver and meet many wonderful homebound seniors in the Huntsville community. Each volunteer delivers to a maximum of 14 clients/12 stops once a month. Volunteers pick up meals at the STUDIO 60 Senior Center, Monday-Friday, between 10:30 and 11 a.m. Deliveries take 1-1/2 hours. You may deliver as often as you like, however, we ask for a minimum commitment of once a month. We currently have 22 routes throughout Huntsville. Contact Lisa Allport, (256) 382-0920, or mow.coord@seniorview.com, for additional information.
Volunteer Substitute
If you are willing to be a substitute driver, let us know! You can specify the days/routes when you will be available. We will usually call no later than the day before we need you. We understand you will not be available every time we call. We appreciate the times you can fill in for someone else!
