Meals on Wheels Orange County and Age Well Senior Services launch Senior Cuisine Delivered
As part of a comprehensive COVID-19 response, nonprofits Meals on Wheels Orange County and Age Well Senior Services recently launched a new meal service to safely deliver fresh, restaurant-quality meals at an affordable price to participating seniors, as well as their caregivers and dependents.
“Numerous older adults and their families asked us to provide restaurant-quality meals delivered safely to their homes during the pandemic, and Senior Cuisine Delivered is the solution—offering convenience, affordability and peace of mind countywide,” says Holly Hagler, CEO of Meals on Wheels Orange County.
Seniors (or their families and caregivers) can enroll online at seniorcuisinedelivered. mealsonwheelsoc. org. Participants can choose two-, four- or six-day meal plans featuring lunches and dinners. Since entrées cost $9.95 each and there are no additional fees or delivery charges, a two-day plan would include four meals for $39.80. For a limited time, new participants will receive $15 off their first two-week subscription. Before enrolling, people can review sample menus from local, participating restaurants, including Blue Stone Kitchen, Jewish Community Services of Orange County, Ngoc Suong Restaurant and Zest in a Bowl. The menus are representative of the type of meals that will be delivered, but individual meal customizations are not accommodated at this time. People can change their restaurant preferences by logging into their accounts before noon on the Friday before a new week. Deliveries are made according to the following schedule:
• For the four-meal plan: two lunches and two dinners on Mondays between 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
• For the eight-meal plan: two lunches and two dinners each on Mondays and Wednesdays between 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
• For the 12-meal plan: two lunches and two dinners each on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. All meals are fresh and should be immediately refrigerated.
