Meals on Wheels (MOW) helps those who are unable to shop for their own food or to cook, maintain their independence at home by delivering nutritious, delicious and affordable meals throughout Windsor. MOW also provides clients with a caring connection to the community.
Our clients include seniors, people recovering from illness or surgery, and people with disabilities. We assist those who need short term (caregiver relief, recuperation, seasonal) or long term assistance. No long term contract necessary.

Meals include: soup, entrée, (including a protein, vegetable and starch), bread and dessert. Vegetarian, chopped, minced and pureed meals are accommodated. There is a fee of $6.50 per meal. Veterans can receive subsidization through Veteran’s Affairs.
