Meals on Wheels Private Pay Program
At Neighborly Senior Care Network, we understand the importance of convenient and nutritious meal options, especially for those who may not have access to regular home-cooked meals. In Pinellas County, you can enjoy a delicious lunch approved by a licensed dietitian and delivered fresh to your door Monday–Friday. Meals on Wheels offers adults age 60+ the option of a subsidized meal, but you can also purchase meals directly without qualifying for Meals on Wheels. Whether you are homebound and need a nutritious lunch or just want a break from the kitchen, Neighborly can provide you with a meal plan to fit your lifestyle.
You can now purchase delicious meals! Your purchase allows us to take seniors off of the waiting list and serve more people in our community.
Important: To place an order, you must complete the Private Pay Meals on Wheels Agreement before making a payment.
