Cart to Heart
We're committed to ensuring homebound seniors can access fresh, nutritious groceries without the challenges of independently shopping. Recognizing that many of our seniors may be unable to shop for themselves, we've developed this unique service to alleviate this stress.
Participants in the program cover their grocery costs while our committed Meals on Wheels team shops for and delivers the groceries right to their doorstep! Cart to Heart operates on providing a service and ensuring our seniors' well-being and nutrition.
In addition to regular groceries, "Cart to Heart" occasionally supplements deliveries with pantry staples from our Meals on Wheels pantry. Items like canned corn, green beans, and soups are included as available, adding a little extra to their kitchen shelves. "Cart to Heart" is more than just a grocery delivery service; it is a lifeline for our seniors, promoting independence and quality of life, one grocery delivery at a time.

"I don’t have anyone else. My daughters aren’t able to shop for me and my caregiver rides the bus to get here. I don’t know what I would do without it. I’m so happy with Meals on Wheels."
