Thank you for your support these last few years! Your financial gifts helped us throughout the pandemic continue serving nutritious meals to our homebound seniors. Meals on Wheels by ACC is grateful for our community partners, allies and donors who offered so much during these uncertain times.
The home delivered meal program continues to have some variation to its meal service and delivery standards. Our goal is to keep participants, volunteers and staff safe during meal deliveries.
Meals on Wheels by ACC is in the process of reopening our All Seasons Cafes. While participants socialize and enjoy a nutritious lunch, we encourage everyone to remain safe. Wearing masks is optional and not required. Participants are asked to not attend a cafe if they have COVID symptoms or have tested positive. A participant that has tested positive may return to the cafe after 5 days and testing negative. We ask that caution be used when returning to keep other participants and staff safe.
In response to volunteer inquiries, we thank those who have expressed their interest in becoming a Meals on Wheels volunteer. We are providing orientation to prospective volunteers who would like to deliver meals, help at one of our All Season’s Cafe locations, or perform other volunteer duties. Email volunteer@mowsac.org for more information.
If there are questions regarding our program service changes and updates, please call our office at (916) 444-9533.
