My sister needs Meals On Wheels or something like this for Houghton Lake, MI 48629.

Hello, My sister is not feeling able to prepare her dinners and I would like to see if she is eligible for Meals on Wheels or some other type home meal deliviery. Thank you

You can order from FactorX. A minimum of 6 dinners per week plus add-ons like breakfast or protein shakes. Dinners are fresh, never frozen. Delivered to her door on a certain day each week. Heats in microwave for 2 minutes, then ready to serve. It's pricey but good quality and tastes great.

Fawnby, anyone can order hot meals through DoorDash or another service.

This person wants them for free because they’re depressed and have whatever “physical disability.”

The only option for this is meals on wheels, for now, but it’s supposed to be defunded.

If these persons are of the Hindu or Sikh community, perhaps they can help.

Contact your area for aging.

That said, meals on wheels is getting defunded soon and isn’t that palatable due to having to avoid whatever gluten, sodium, religious, whatever. It’s a notch above prison food.

We are a forum of caregivers from all over the US. I see you have been given a website in your area to hook up with Meals on wheels. You may also want to call your County Office of Aging and see if there are other resourses your sister is entitled to. Where I live, they give a voucher to qualified seniors to be able to buy fresh produce.
