Can my Mother (84) get meals on wheels, since she has broke her foot?

For my father to get MOW, he had to be homebound, i.e., unable to drive or get out w/o assistance. His local Senior Center handles the MOW program, but in other areas around here it's not handled by the local centers. I believe that the Area Agency on Aging handles for other communities, so you might try them first.

Or just Google Meals on Wheels, (your mother's city and state).

Dad pays $3.00 per meal. They do offer to bring extra meals for a weekend and especially for the holidays.

Sure she can. Contact her local Elder Affairs... Also when you speak with them get info on what other services they offer..

Most likely.

My dad had Meals on Wheels but I can't remember who I contacted to get it. Try your local church. I think they might be able to tell you who to call.
