The Woodford County Meals On Wheels program began here in 1977, delivering just two meals in the Eureka area. In 2005, we were pleased to serve over 10,000 meals in Woodford County. If you live in Woodford County and would like help with meals, we want to help you.

1. Our meals are prepared five days a week in the Communities of Maple Lawn kitchen.

2. Each meal contains two plates: The cold plate has a salad, desert, and bread with butter. The hot plate has meat, a starch, and a vegetable.

3. Doctor's diets such as low sodium, low cholesterol, low concentrated sweets, diabetic 1200 calories, and milk allergies are just a few examples of how we can vary our meals for your needs.

4. We want to know what foods you like and dislike. There are two choices of most items and we can substitute the menu item for the alternate item most times. For example, you tell us that you don't like spinach; the second choice of vegetable is corn so that is what we would give you.

5. If you have a chewing or swallowing problem, we have "mechanical" and "pureed" foods. (A mechanical meat, for example, looks somewhat like loose hamburger).

The Meals On Wheels program also has good flexibility in the delivery of the meals. Meals are delivered around noontime and the days delivered can be adjusted for each individual's needs. At this time we have customers who have meals delivered twice a week, three times a week, four times a week, and five times a week. We also have customers who have two meals delivered on Fridays so they will have one for the weekend. If your plans change on a given day, you may add or cancel a meal by calling in as soon as you know. The latest time to call in is 8:30am, the morning of the change.
