Meals on Wheels in Terre Haute, Indiana, focuses on caring for individuals whose diminished mobility makes it hard to shop for food, prepare meals or socialize with others. We provide service to Vigo County, and have been in operation since 1971. The only requirement is a need for nutritious meals, without the ability to provide them or access them.

HOME MEAL DELIVERY
Terre Haute Area Meals on Wheels delivers nutritious meal, a safety check and a smile that serves as a lifeline for seniors of limited mobility, homebound individuals, and those in Vigo County in need of nutritious meals. This combination goes well beyond fighting the battle against the hunger that threatens one in six of America’s seniors – it provides the support and peace of mind that enable them to remain safely and securely in their own homes as they continue to age. Enabling seniors to stay in their own homes means they remain happier, extend their independence and can stay connected to the communities and surroundings that provide them comfort. The powerful side effect of this result is that it means seniors can stay out of expensive nursing facilities and hospitals. Meals on Wheels can feed a senior for 1 YEAR for less than it costs for 1 DAY in a nursing facility!
