I have had friends on Meals on Wheels, part of the problem is that they are not made for elderly people who are usually on a restricted diet. Yet that is the majority of their customer base.

And you are right, at that price it is way overpriced for what they get.

I’m using M-O-W and love it. The meals I get are for a regular diet and are great. I do have a gripe though.
I think it may take as many as one or two people to prepare the meals and they could probably do it with just one.
Hell any good cook could prepare a few hundred meals and have them ready for delivery by noon.

Then the meals just walk themselves to a car and with another volunteer driving it 35 miles to my house, all the
while keeping it warm, it is handed to me by a really nice guy.

I was surprised that the cost per meal is so much. NOT </Sarcasm

Elderly friend of mine was hospitalized for about 10 days, when she came home, she couldn’t get them to STOP sending Meals on Wheels, which to put it mildly, were totally inedible junk. The alleged food they sent was clearly part of a plot to kill off sickly people.
