MEAL PROGRAMs

Meals on Wheels, as a whole, is best known for providing seniors across the nation with the support to remain independent in their homes, typically through delivering healthy and nutritious meals. Food insecurity, however, remains to be one of the nation's greatest problems. Meals on Wheels of Solano County has extended their services to better serve communities with a multitude of resources and aid, aiming to ensure that Solano County has no senior that goes hungry.
