The Meals on Wheels program in Eau Claire County serves a hot, made from scratch meal to approximately 450 homebound seniors every weekday. All the meals are made locally in our central kitchen in Eau Claire. We believe that good nutrition will help seniors maintain healthy minds, bodies, and ultimately their independence. Some of our program funding comes from the seniors we service in the form on a monthly contribution. These participants are often on fixed incomes and are battling the rising cost of living. One year of Meals on Wheels, per participant, is the same cost of one day in the hospital. 11% of Wisconsin seniors struggle with hunger, deciding between medication, housing or food. We would like to offer business leaders and community partners an exclusive opportunity to help by sponsoring a route for homebound seniors in Eau Claire County.
