Meals on Wheels of Wake County

Meals on Wheels of Wake County serves older adults and neighbours with disabilities through home-delivered meals and Friendship Cafes. Its office is at 1001 Blair Drive, Suite 100, Raleigh, and the phone number is 919-833-1749. The organisation says each delivery includes a visit and wellness check, which can matter for someone who spends long periods alone. Delivery and café programmes cover Wake County, but routes, schedules, and start dates depend on the address and local capacity.

For home delivery, the person must be at least 60 and live in Wake County; the assessment also considers whether they are homebound or have difficulty leaving home, cooking, or shopping, along with recent hospital stays and available support. The person, a family member, or a caregiver may complete the application online. If the form is not accessible, call 919-833-1749 and select option 2 on weekdays from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. The organisation estimates about two weeks for processing but notes that waiting lists and route capacity affect each case.

People able to leave home can ask about a Friendship Cafe; the programme page lists sites and advises contacting the local manager for schedules and registration. Applying for meals does not guarantee an immediate start, so urgent needs can also be discussed with Resources for Seniors or 211. When applying, describe allergies, dietary restrictions, mobility, who answers the door, and an emergency contact so staff can assess which service format fits.
