Home Delivered Meal Program
This meal program is based on need, not income. It is designed to provide a well-balanced daily meal to homebound older adults who are unable to prepare adequate meals for themselves and have no other means for assuring healthful nutrition.
Seven frozen meals are delivered on Mondays every week to provide a nutritious meal daily. The delivery of meals may occur any time between 9:30 am and 1 pm.
Volunteers from the local senior center deliver the meals to older adult's homes. Although this is a brief contact, it does provide a check on the well-being of the homebound individual.
Requirements include being a York County resident, at least 60 years of age, having a physical, mental, or emotional disability, which prohibits you from leaving your residence on a regular basis and/or prevents you from preparing a nutritious meal, and if you live alone or with someone who also meets the above criteria. Call: 717-771-9610 or Email: aging@yorkcountypa.gov in order to see if you qualify.

All of our centers provide an option for free fruits and vegetables vouchers. Vouchers are usually available from May through July each year. Information will be updated as soon as it’s available.
