Make a referral

To apply for home delivered meal service, or to refer someone to us, call our office at (609) 695-3483. New participant referrals come from visiting nurses, discharge planners, social workers, doctors’ offices, county social service offices, other agencies and programs, families and participants themselves. You will be asked to provide basic information about the applicant over the phone. Our Director of Program Services will then contact the participant and set up an in-home assessment interview, and confirm the participant's diet with his or her physician, if a special diet is required, prior to the start of meal services. Please keep in mind we do not serve anyone with a life threatening food allergy. The following list contains information requested to be given over the phone:
​
