The Pacifica Meals on Wheels program provides meals to individuals age 18 and older living at home who are unable to prepare their own meals. Eligibility is based on residence in Pacifica and an inability to prepare meals, to go out to eat, or to obtain adequate meals. Meals on Wheels can be provided during short-term convalescence or long-term disability.
Each meal provides one-third of daily nutritional requirements. Meals are prepared in the kitchen at the Pacifica Community Center. Ready-to-eat meals are delivered at the door by a volunteer Monday through Friday between the hours of 10:45am and 12:15pm. A suggested donation of $3.50 per meal is appreciated for those 60 years and older. Anyone under the age of 60 pays a mandatory fee.
Find out about Pacifica Meals on Wheels or apply for the service by calling the Meals on Wheels coordinator at 650-738-7350. A staff member will make an appointment to visit the applicant in their home shortly before or after they begin receiving meals. Staff will discuss health conditions, living situation and provide information about other applicable services that are available.
Meals on Wheels volunteers are always needed - it is a rewarding service to do with a friend! If you are interested in volunteering one hour a week delivering meals to homebound individuals, please contact the Meals on Wheels coordinator at 650-738-7350.
