Target demographics: break the isolation of our homebound neighbors

Direct beneficiaries per year: 1000 homebound and disabled neighbors by delivering 230,000 meals

Geographic areas served: 15 neighborhoods in metro Tulsa serving 1000 meals a day

Programs: We are the oldest and largest home-delivered meal program in Oklahoma, currently delivering about 1,000 meals a day. We provide hot nutritious noon-time meals on Weekdays, and also offer frozen meals and sandwich lunches for non-delivery days, diabetic meals, vegetarian meals, and prescription modified diet meals in some areas. The friendly visit from the volunteer provides assurance and breaks social isolation.
