Eligibility Requirements for Meals
Two meal programs are offered to serve Yolo County seniors:
Congregate Meals
Home Delivered Meals
To be eligible to receive Home Delivered Meals,
recipients must be 60+ years of age,
and a resident of Yolo County.
Congregate Meals:
Congregate meals are an opportunity for seniors to come together to share a meal, enjoy conversation and take advantage of other activities offered at each location. Due to COVID-19 pandemic concerns, this program currently is on hold at all locations. Once a week meal service is scheduled to return to the Woodland Community and Senior Center on Wednesday July 20, 2022 at 11:00 a.m.! Look for reservation information and other details to be posted here by July 1.
Meals on Wheels Yolo County aims to provide a comfortable and healthy congregant dining experience. Should participants have questions, suggestions, or concerns, please bring them to the attention of the meal site manager, or contact our Programs Department at welcome@mowyolo.org or 530-662-7035. More information about submitting a documented grievance is available HERE. The Agency on Aging Area 4, also offers a grievance option at THIS LINK.
Home Delivered Meals:
Five home delivered meals are provided weekly, delivered by volunteers on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, generally between 10:45 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Eligibility for this service is determined by our Programs Department. The following criteria are reflective of many of the meal recipients whom we serve:
- Mobility-limited; needs assistance to leave the home.
- Physical disability requiring assistance with two or more activities of daily living, such as eating, dressing, getting up, bathing, toileting, or walking.
- Mental or emotional disability requiring frequent verbal reminders or directions.
- Inability to cook with limited or no assistance available for meal preparation.
Seniors who have been recently discharged from the hospital receive priority, whether receiving meals temporarily or for a longer term.
To schedule an intake interview with Programs Department staff, please contact welcome@mowyolo.org or 530-662-7035. Those enrolled in this program will be reassessed quarterly – currently by phone – to determine their continued eligibility, as well as to monitor health and wellness and provide for referrals to other programs that may be helpful.
There is no charge for eligible participants, but we appreciate contribution in any amount you are able to afford. The actual cost of services is $10 per meal. Checks may be sent to our administrative office at 40 N. East Street, Suite C, Woodland, CA 95776, or by using a credit card online HERE. If you are unable to make a contribution, it will not affect your participation in our program.
