Home Bound Meals
Home-delivered meals are available to those seniors aged 60 and over who qualify. If you are interested in signing up for home-delivered meals, please contact our Outreach Specialist. An in-home assessment will be scheduled with you to approve your eligibility.
Our home-delivered meal routes are scheduled daily for delivery of meals to homebound individuals throughout Muskingum County. The Center is a certified Passport provider. The Center wants to remind all home-delivered meal clients that we do not make extra visits to your home asking you to pay for your meals.
Home delivered meal clients can help the Center save food, gas, and money. If you are not going to be home to receive your meal, please call our Nutrition department at (740) 969-6189 before 9:00 AM to let us know.
