Meals
Our meals are thoughtfully prepared with both nutrition and care in mind. Each one is designed to provide at least one-third of the Recommended Dietary Guidelines for Americans, offering a strong foundation for a healthy, balanced diet. We also follow federal meal pattern requirements to ensure every meal meets important nutritional standards.
We take great care in how our meals are delivered, packing them in insulated bags and coolers to keep them at the proper temperature. This helps ensure that every meal arrives fresh, safe, and ready to enjoy.
Every plate is created to be both nourishing and satisfying, typically including a hearty entrée, vegetables, fruit, a side like potatoes or pasta, and a carton of 2% milk. Together, these elements provide a well-rounded meal, one that not only supports health, but also brings comfort and enjoyment to those we serve.
Every meal is only $5 and can save a senior's life. Meals are provided to our clients free of charge. Some seniors wish to give a donation to help pay for their service, but is completely voluntary and not required. Meals on Wheels Spokane is a donation only service and is paid for by donors like you. To donate and pay for a meal is as easy as clicking the donate button.
