St. Vincent Meals on Wheels prepares balanced meals from top-quality ingredients that are both nutritious and delicious.
- Every meal meets or exceeds all federal and local nutritional standards, and is high in fiber and low in sugar.
- Clients receive special meals tailored to their medical protocols including low sodium, renal for kidney patients and low vitamin K for heart patients. We even have soft pureed meals for seniors challenged by chewing and swallowing.
- We also cater to our clients’ personal preferences, including kosher and vegetarian meals. We keep track of foods clients prefer not to receive and provide substitutions as needed.
- Most importantly, our meals are delicious and provide a variety of foods, because a meal is only healthy if our clients enjoy eating it.
Here is a sampling of the 1,800 meals we prepare and deliver to our clients. Our menu rotates every six weeks to provide optimum nutrition and variety.
