Get Meals >> How it Works
One of the big questions we get is how this process works to sign up and then to receive the meals. We deliver Hot meals three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Our volunteers deliver between 11 AM and 1 PM. We also are able to deliver frozen meals for the other days of the week.
1: Contact Metro Meals on Wheels
They help potential clients move through the process and help them learn if they are eligible for government funding. Metro Meals on Wheels will determine your service area and answer questions that you may have.
To start the intake process, please call 612-623-3363.
2: Information Collection
Before starting deliveries, Metro Meals on Wheels needs general information to ensure that our drivers get the correct meals to the correct location. We need to learn if you or a loved one has dietary needs that are supported by our menus. We are able to accommodate various diets including: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Mechanical Soft, Puree, Vegetarian, and Renal.
We are also able to provide culturally specific diets including Hmong, Halal and Latin.
3: Starting Deliveries
What Meals on Wheels offers is simple, yet extremely important: Well-rounded meals delivered to your home along with a visit from a friendly volunteer. When you sign up for Meals on Wheels, you’ll get the healthy foods you want with convenient delivery and menu options that allow you to live independently in your own home.
We deliver hot meals on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Clients need to be home to receive the meals between 11 AM and 1 PM. We are also able to provide frozen meals for the remaining days of the week.
Meals on Wheels provides excellent value for what you receive – a freshly prepared, ready-to-eat meal delivered right to your door. Some of our clients are eligible for payment assistance, while others are able to pay for their meals. For Private Pay clients, we ask for a modest contribution toward your meals, the price is based on need.
Pausing or Cancelling Deliveries
If there is a day that the client is unable to receive meals, we are able to put their deliveries on hold. We are able to do this for a single day, a time period, or in the case that the length of time is unknown, we can put deliveries on a longer hold until we are notified that the client wishes to continue deliveries.
