Meals on Wheels
Meals on Wheels delivers fresh, nutritious meals straight to clients' homes, along with a friendly visit and a wellness check during delivery. Our meals meet one-third of the daily nutritional requirements for older adults. Clients can receive up to seven frozen meals weekly or one hot meal delivered daily. To qualify, clients must be 60 years of age or older, who – due to illness or disability – cannot buy food or cook meals for themselves, and who do not have someone to purchase food or cook meals for them on a consistent basis.
Medically Tailored Meals
Medically Tailored Food and Nutrition services are provided to Medi-Cal clients with chronic health conditions or who have recently been discharged from the hospital. Santa Clara Family Health Plan refers clients for a variety of services, including Medically Tailored Meals, Medically Tailored Groceries, or Nutrition Education. These "Food is Medicine" services aim for better health outcomes, improved client satisfaction, and ultimately lower healthcare costs. Our Registered Dieticians approve the meals and groceries and provide the nutrition assessments and education.
Jerry Larson FoodBasket
Preparing affordable, nutritious meals can be a challenge for people living with HIV/AIDS. The Jerry Larson FoodBasket helps support these individuals and their families by providing food assistance. Clients can shop twice a month and choose from an array of fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, canned and packaged goods, and frozen meat.
Home-delivered meals are available for homebound clients. Eligibility is based on income level and need.
