Meals on Wheels of Macon & Bibb County

Since 1974, Meals on Wheels of Macon & Bibb Co. has provided hot, nourishing meals to homebound elderly and disabled persons who are unable to provide meals for themselves. The meals, daily contact by caring volunteers and staff, as well as professional assessment of needs allow our frail, homebound neighbors to remain in their own homes… where they want to be. Our clients need so little; but, they need that little so much.

Our Homemaker Program provides basic housekeeping assistance for a few of our Meals on Wheels recipients. Due to limited funding, this program is reserved for our clients demonstrating the greatest need. Our homemakers visit the clients and do weekly chores such as changing linens, cleaning the bathroom, dusting, mopping or any other activity that the client needs. We are also able to assist with paying bills, scheduling doctor’s appointments or running needed errands. Our homemakers make a positive difference in the lives of our clients receiving this service.

Our Private Pay Program is available for clients or family members of clients who are able to pay for the Meals on Wheels Program. We also accept sponsorships from churches or civic clubs who can pay for an individual to receive meals. If a client or a member of their family is able to pay for the Meals on Wheels Program, presently $6.00 per meal, the individual can begin receiving meals soon after applying if we are able to accommodate the client on an existing delivery route.
