Meal Delivery Service

Meal Delivery Service is a nonprofit service to deliver meals to the homes of elderly persons and their spouses and to the physically or mentally handicapped and persons otherwise disabled and their spouses, who are unable to adequately prepare all of their meals.

The spouse of a person described above, regardless of age or disability
