MEALS ON WHEELS METRO BOISE
One in six seniors in America face food insecurity on a regular basis. In Idaho alone, 37,120 seniors are struggling with hunger. More than just a meal, Meals on Wheels provides a proven solution. The nutritious food is critical to the seniors, but the program is so much more. It makes the seniors feel more safe and secure, live healthier lives, enjoy a better quality of life, and remain independent.
Meals on Wheels Metro Boise delivers and serves more than 2,000 hot, nutritious meals each weekday to seniors throughout Ada County, Middleton, Emmett, Caldwell, Marsing, and McCall. All meals are low-sodium, low-calorie, and low-fat.
As seniors live longer and retirees flock to Idaho, the need for our service continues to increase. The impact of Meals on Wheels is significant. The cost of one year for a senior to receive meals is less than one day in the hospital and equal to one week in a nursing facility.
