Home Delivered Meals
Medically-Tailored and Freshly-Prepared Meals Delivered to Seniors and Adults Living with Disabilities Across Central Texas by Smiling Volunteers
Our Home Delivered Meals program is a holistic nutrition program that provides healthy, medically-tailored, freshly prepared meals for seniors and adults living with disabilities throughout the Greater Austin area. Each recipient receives one meal per day during the week and may have an option of receiving supplemental frozen meals for the weekend. Our staff nutritionists carefully plan our meals to ensure they meet the nutritional needs of those we serve. Learn more about our meals and see our monthly meal menu.
Once enrolled in the Home Delivered Meals program, case management services are provided to holistically assess each client’s needs, not only in terms of nutrition and meal eligibility, but to determine whether the client may require additional support. To see if you or someone you know may qualify for home delivered meals, check our eligibility list below.
