IM Meals on Wheels
IM Houston’s Meals on Wheels (MOW) program serves nutritious daily meals and wellness checks to qualified seniors in Harris and Galveston County. Each meal is designed and approved by a registered dietitian and meets the 1/3 Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) recommended by the FDA. Meals are provided at no cost to seniors.
To be eligible for IM’s MOW service, you must:
- Be sixty (60) years of age or older;
- Be homebound (i.e. home during the day);
- Have a demonstrated need for nutrition assistance (e.g. mobility issues, income restrictions, etc.);
- Live within IM MOW’s 114 zip code service area in Harris and Galveston County
IM Houston delivers over 1.2 million meals to over 6,000 seniors each year. 98% of our clients tell us MOW helps them to maintain or improve their health and to remain independent in their own homes. Seniors with pets may sign up for our Animeals program to receive supplemental pet food. We are able to provide this service through a combination of government grants and private contributions.
