Meals & Nutrition · Wisconsin · Free

NCOA SNAP screening and food assistance resources for older adults. Worth contacting for homebound seniors, caregivers needing meal-prep relief, or any older adult experiencing food insecurity. Meals on Wheels does a free in-home assessment to set delivery schedule, dietary restrictions, and emergency contacts. Many older adults don't apply for SNAP because of stigma; the application is now online in most states and takes 15 minutes. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
