Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada — Meals on Wheels

Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada has delivered meals to homebound older adults in Las Vegas and North Las Vegas since 1975. Its Meals on Wheels program serves year-round residents age 60 and older who cannot easily leave home because of illness, physical or cognitive limitations, or geographic isolation. It is not advertised as an open delivery service for all of Clark County.

Each week, the organization delivers a set of seven frozen, nutritionally balanced meals. The service is provided at no cost to eligible clients and is funded through grants and donations. People with pets may request donated pet food when they need it and supplies are available. Drivers also make a weekly visit and wellbeing check, which can be meaningful for households with limited outside contact.

The older adult can submit the program’s referral form directly, or a doctor’s office, physician, or social worker can make a referral. Staff review age, address, and homebound status; filling out the form does not mean enrollment has already been approved. Call 702-385-5284 to confirm the service area, required paperwork, and possible start date. The office is at 1501 Las Vegas Boulevard North; it is the program’s address, not a dining room where meals are picked up.

When arranging service, ask what comes in each weekly package, how meals should be stored and reheated, what happens if the resident does not answer the door, and whom a caregiver should contact if diet or mobility changes. The official page confirms frozen meals and weekly check-ins, but does not promise a customized clinical menu or a fixed delivery time for every household, so confirm those details during intake.
