What is Meals on Wheels?
Cabarrus Meals on Wheels is a local, nonprofit United Way member agency established in 1974 for the purpose of delivering a nutritionally balanced, hot meal to elderly and disabled individuals in Cabarrus County determined to be in need of this service to enable them to remain independent in their own homes.
A Link to the Outside World.
Daily contact with the CMoW volunteer provides the isolated clients an opportunity for friendship and social interaction and serves as a daily check on their well-being, thus allowing peace of mind for their families.
About the service
To be eligible for the program an individual must:
- be a Cabarrus County resident
- be unable, and have no one, to prepare one hot balanced meal a day
- need the service a minimum of three (3) weeks
- live within a Cabarrus Meals on Wheels delivery route
The meals, prepared by Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast and another caterer, are delivered Monday through Friday between 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Each meal consists of a hot meat, vegetables, bread, salad, dessert, and milk or juice.
The fee for a meal is based on a sliding scale according to income.
Sponsorships are available to those who are unable to pay for their meals.
Weekend frozen meals are available to those clients who do not have assistance on the weekend.
