Meals on Wheels operates in virtually every community in America through our network of more than 5,000 independently-run local programs. While the diversity of each program's services and operations may vary based on the needs and resources of their communities, they are all committed to supporting their senior neighbors to live healthier and more nourished lives in their own homes.

Tri-County Community Action Agency is proud to partner with Meals on Wheels keeping seniors at home, where they want to be through one of the most successful social solutions in America. Even the most independent among us, if fortunate to live long enough, may experience a decline in mobility or health that can strip away our independence and diminish the quality of our lives. Great advances in medicine have extended our average life expectancy to a record high of 78.7 years. Living longer means more years spent in the struggles that accompany old age. Add to that the increase in geographic mobility of our families and the result is millions of seniors left behind, hungry and alone.

Tri- County Community Action was chosen as a recipient of a 2018 Subaru Outback!  In honor of their 50th anniversary, Subaru donated 50 new 2018 Outback’s to selected Meals on Wheels programs across the country.  “50 Cars for 50 Years” Our agency received an Outback from Bachman Subaru as part of this celebration in late 2017.   We have delivered Meals on Wheels to our communities for years and was in need of additional transportation and awareness to our cause.  After hearing stories of outreach initiatives that yielded no results, Subaru could not pass up this opportunity to play a part in providing meals to our most deserving citizens, and so they presented Tri-County Community Action with a brand new Subaru Outback. ​See WDRB the story here!

Volunteers deliver hot, nutritious meals to homebound seniors who find it difficult or impossible to prepare meals for themselves. Adequate nutrition is necessary for health, functionality and the ability to remain independent. Healthy eating can increase mental acuity, resistance to illness and disease, energy levels, immune system strength, recuperation speed and the ability to manage chronic health problems. Meals on Wheels ensures that seniors have access to adequate nutrition even when family support, mobility and resources are lacking.

We cannot do this without our donors and volunteers!!
