Meals on Wheels Expands to Saturdays
Recipients soon will receive Saturday meals in addition to regular weekday meals. Sunday meals to begin this fall.
Home-bound seniors in Alexandria who receive Meals on Wheels services now will receive prepared meals on Saturdays in addition to the regular weekday meals they currently receive.
The Saturday delivery beginning July 14 is made possible through funds from the city’s Division of Aging and Adult Services and through private donations to Senior Services of Alexandria, which contracts with the city to operate the Meals on Wheels program.
Beginning this fall, seniors will receive Sunday meals as well thanks to funding allocated by City Council.
