Hunger is a serious threat facing many older adults and individuals with disabilities. Currently OCES delivers more than 1,100 nutritious meals to older adults and individuals with disabilities each day. The purpose of OCES’ Nutrition Program is to: reduce hunger and food insecurity; promote socialization; promote the health and well-being of older adults and individuals with disabilities and delay adverse health conditions through access to nutrition and other disease prevention and health promotion services. The nutrition service is provided Monday through Friday in a variety of settings including congregate facilities such as senior centers; or by home-delivery to individuals who are home-bound due to illness, disability, or geographic isolation. OCES needs Meals on Wheels Drivers!

Mission Statement
The mission of OCES is to support the independence and dignity of elders and individuals with disabilities by providing essential information and services that promote healthy and safe living.
Description
Independence. It is a concept our nation was built upon, and one most of us take for granted. As we age, it is also something that can quickly become elusive. The reasons for this vary from person to person and include such reasons as health challenges, an inability to drive or limited financial security. The result is that many within the aging and disabilities populations are at risk daily of losing their ability to live independently. OCES is committed to its mission by making a difference in the lives of the individuals we serve and enabling them to live safely in their homes as long as they wish.
OCES is privileged to act as the entry point for older adults, families, caregivers, individuals with disabilities and healthcare professionals who wish to access programs, services and community resources. The value of the services provided through OCES programs to the individuals living within our service area who are most in need, cannot be underestimated.
