Home-Delivered Meals

Meals are delivered once each weekday by our caring volunteers between 10:30am and 1:00pm. For participant safety, meals cannot be left unattended at a door or in a cooler.

If you will not be home to receive your meal, please call to cancel by 3:00pm on the business day before your scheduled delivery.

Meal Pricing:

Please call our office for meal pricing.

Meals on Wheels of Mercer County is committed to ensuring that no homebound senior is ever denied access to a meal because of inability to pay. Subsidized meal programs may be available through government funding or certain health care plans, including Medicaid.

To find out more information about the possibility of government funding to cover the cost of your meals, you can contact:

Mercer County office on Aging (AAA) 609-989-6661

MLTSS (via Mercer County Office on Aging) 800-772-1213

These agencies work to help make sure that individuals with disabilities, the elderly, and low income families receive the help that they need. If you don't already have an assigned case manager, one will be appointed to make a determination of the services for which you are eligible, and provide you with the correct procedure for requesting Meals on Wheels delivery.

In addition to home-delivered meals, we provide the following supportive services to our meal participants:

Blizzard Boxes: Boxed meals delivered to participants during periods of possible inclement weather that may close our office or interrupt meal delivery.

Farm Fresh Produce: Through special grant funding, we are able to provide produce during the summer months.

Holiday Meals: We partner with Trenton Kiwanis to deliver meals to participants who will be alone on Thanksgiving Day. Prior to holiday closures, an extra meal is provided the day before.

Non-perishable Groceries: Once a month participants receive a bag of non-perishable items (canned vegetables/fruit, canned tuna/salmon, soup, cold cereal, etc.). These items are provided courtesy of Meals on Wheels of Mercer County through our partnership with Mercer Street Friends Food Bank via the State Food Purchase Program. We can provide additional monthly groceries through the CSFP (Commodity Supplemental Food Program) to a limited number of participants. 

Nutrition Counseling: Available free of charge to the most vulnerable of our participants. At initial assessment, we will determine if a dietitian is needed for follow-up to ensure they will be eating properly.

Nutrition Education/Informational Handouts: We distribute information about good nutrition, other senior programs in Mercer County, health/safety tips, etc. to our participants.

Pet Pantry: We deliver monthly pet food bags through our Pet Pantry for our participant's furry companions. We recognize the importance of these family members to the lives of many of our participants. Learn more HERE.

Wellness Program: To further support the health and well-being of our participants, MOWMC has launched a comprehensive Wellness Program, designed to promote healthy aging beyond meal delivery. Learn more HERE.
