Program Description:
Meals On Wheels of San Francisco’s state-of-the-art kitchen gives us the flexibility to produce a cost-effective, three-tiered food plan of hot, chilled and frozen meals. Diabetic, low-sodium, and mechanically softened meal plans are available for seniors with special nutritional needs, and each of our meals meets one-third of the recommended daily allowance of nutrients for this age group. The unique services we offer make us the only viable option for many of our clients.

<p> Seniors with an emergency need will receive our services within 3 to 5 days. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> We will continuously monitor the quality of nutrition and seek to provide the highest </p>
<p> quality balanced diet possible. Through this, we hope to improve the health of clients </p>
<p> with chronic conditions that can be remedied through proper nutrition. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> We will reduce isolation for our clients by maintaining stable, high-quality </p>
<p> driver and social-work teams, and by increasing the number of volunteers to </p>
<p> serve as friendly visitors. </p>

<p> Through referrals to outside services as well as through our own programs, we will work </p>
<p> to meet our clients’ needs beyond nutrition—most importantly, safety in the home.</p>
