The Council on Aging's Meals on Wheels program provides hot, noontime meals for those who are unable to shop or cook.
Although Meals on Wheels primarily serves frail seniors, it is available to all Martin County residents who have a need for this service, whether on a permanent or temporary basis (for example, following surgery).
The Council on Aging of Martin County's Meals on Wheels program is certified by the Meals on Wheels Association of America.
In addition to the home-delivered meals, we also host three Senior Dining Centers at the Indiantown Civic Center, the 10th Street Community Center in Stuart, and the Log Cabin in Jensen Beach. Learn more about our Senior Dining Centers by scrolling to the bottom of the page.
More Than a Meal.
By being part of the Meals on Wheels program, clients gain a vital safety net beyond the guarantee of a hot, healthy lunch. For many of our clients, the daily delivery is their only consistent opportunity for social interaction with another person. When our volunteers deliver a meal, they actively check our clients' well-being. They are trained to respond to emergencies, and on many occasions have been instrumental in saving the life of a client in distress. Meals on Wheels is much more than a home-delivered meal . it is a "well-check."
Help us end senior isolation and hunger in Martin County.
A team of dedicated volunteers delivers over 500 meals each day throughout Martin County. Meals are delivered to clients' homes Monday through Friday, between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Weekend meals can be delivered upon request. Full week or partial week service is also available. The program accommodates a wide range of therapeutic diets for those with special needs.
Our Meals on Wheels program offers many therapeutic diets, including those listed below. All meals meet one-third of the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for those age 60 and over. Although a specific diabetic diet is not available, our regular meals are approved for stable diabetics. Other diets include:
We will review your dietary requirements with you or your designated representative when you sign up for Meals on Wheels, and will develop a menu to accommodate any special needs you may have.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Meals on Wheels program. Without the generous assistance of helpers throughout Martin County, we could not bring hot, home-delivered meals on an affordable basis to hundreds of needy seniors every day.
