Meals on Wheels has been an integral part of Mounds View Public Schools’ mission and commitment to serving adults in our community for nearly 50 years. It is more than just a meal; Meals on Wheels is a critical wellness visit by volunteers, a nutritious hot or frozen meal for homebound older and disabled adults, and a means of connecting older adults to other community services.

Meals on Wheels is for older adults or certified disabled adults in need of help with meals, and is an ideal service to assist caregivers who may be hard-pressed finding time for meal preparation along with all their other responsibilities. Meals are affordably priced, and a sliding fee scale is available for those who qualify. You can also pay for Meals on Wheels with a credit or debit card or with your SNAP benefits. If you are interested in receiving or delivering meals please call 651-318-9091 or email jeanne.szurek@mvpschools.org.

DONATE NOW! Mounds View Meals on Wheels needs YOU! We have partnered with the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf to distribute additional food and personal supplies to our clients as well. We rely on the financial support of our clients and community to sustain our program’s ability to serve others. Additionally, our staff and amazing volunteers are giving their time to help those in need. Donations can be made at mvpschools.org/ mealsonwheels.
