  Meals on Wheels is OCWCOG’s largest program – serving more than 1,992 seniors and people with disabilities last year in our tri-County Region of Linn, Benton, and Lincoln Counties. In total, more than 257,119 meals were served. 

Our home delivery program is designed for homebound seniors and people with disabilities under 60 who receive Medicaid services, and are unable to get to a dining room in their community. Our home-delivered meals are delivered by volunteer Meals on Wheels drivers.

Call the Senior and Disability Services in your County. Each caller will be interviewed as soon as possible to determine eligibility.
