Meals on Wheels of Lehigh County provides freshly cooked meals to homebound seniors and disabled people who are not able to prepare meals for themselves. Our service fills short-term needs after an illness, surgery or hospital stay, and long term needs for people with chronic conditions or disabilities who want to remain independent in their own homes. We also provide meals as respite care for a week or two, when a caregiver is on vacation or ill themselves.
All of our meals are prepared daily in the kitchen at Meals on Wheels of Northampton County by professional chefs. The kitchen staff takes pride in preparing delicious, nutritious food that is visually appealing.
