Meals on Wheels
Serving fresh, hot, nutritionally balanced meals to older adults, adults with disabilities, and life partners who have limited resources to care for themselves.
Meals on Wheels, operated by the Oregon Cascade West Council of Governments (OCWCOG), serves meals in Linn, Benton, and Lincoln Counties. Home delivery meals provide an important safety check and social connection, assisting limited-income, low-mobility older adults with remaining safe and independent in their own homes for as long as possible. In 2023, Meals on Wheels served over 2,400 clients and delivered 276,775 meals. Additionally, the Connections Cafe Community Dining Program offers hot, nutritious meals to seniors who are at least 60 years of age and their spouses and to Native Americans who are at least 55 years of age.
