Lee County Meals On Wheels

Often times those requiring a caregiver to provide in-home care in Fort Myers require assistance with meals. While a private caregiver can assist with cooking and meal preparation there are inevitably times where a senior requires more help with meals than is provided by a private caregiver. It is for that reason Meals-OnWheels exists. In Lee County, Fort Myers, and Cape Coral CCMI organizes and implements the Meals On Wheels program.

CCMI’s caring Meals on Wheels volunteers provide daily, nutritious home-delivered meals and a friendly, safety and security check to eligible homebound neighbors who cannot shop or cook for themselves. These neighbors include seniors, the disabled, or chronically ill adults under the age of 60. They may receive meals short term while recovering from an illness or surgery, or long-term, to assist them while they remain safely and independently in their homes. The services CCMI provides help ensure the continued health and well-being of over 1,000 elderly and homebound citizens in our community. They also provide food and care products for the pets that bring joy and companionship to our seniors ensuring that Meals on Wheels brings more than just food to our deserving clients. These home-delivered meals and related services ensure that our neighbors in need are kept safe, comfortable, and living in their own homes. With the help of caring volunteers and dedicated staff, the Meals on Wheels family works together to take care of the people who have often spent their lives taking care of others.

Eligibility:

-Primarily Homebound

-Have difficulty preparing a nutritious meal.

Costs:

-$3.75 per meal (billed at end of the month.)
