If you have limited mobility and need the assistance of a walker or wheelchair, it can be difficult to go to the grocery store. Many Baltimore residents have little or no food in their homes, and although Meals on Wheels of Central MD provides two nutritious meals daily it is always good to have back-up!
You can help those in your community be safe by donating shelf-stable foods and household helps to Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland. You can host a drive at your workplace, school, or community organization. If you're in the Baltimore area, we can pick up the collected items from you, or you can drop them off at our main office at 515 S. Haven St, Baltimore, MD 21224.
Please call 443-573-0925 for more information on suggested items and dropping off your collection. You can help your neighbors have enough food!

Description
Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland provides two nutritious meals daily to homebound persons living in Baltimore City and Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Carroll, Harford, Montgomery, Pronce George's, and Howard Counties. Volunteers provide friendly and compassionate meal delivery service to our clients. Related services include grocery shopping, pet food, and phone call programs.
What does homebound mean? Our clients are unable to prepare meals or shop for themselves. Most of clients are elderly. Other clients may be disabled, ill or recovering from major medical procedures.
Are there income restrictions on service? No. Anyone who meets the definition of homebound may be eligible for service.
Is meal service free? Some clients do receive free meal service, however most clients pay a small fee. We determine how much our clients pay by assesing all forms of income.
Why do we rely on volunteers? Since it's start in 1960, Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland has been a volunteer supported agency. Volunteers truly provide the heart of our agency. They really care about what they do and support our mission. Without our volunteers, paid staff would deliver over 3,000 meals a day! This would make our services more costly and less personal.
