Senior Services provides nutritious meals through Meals on Wheels, which
requires meals delivered to homebound Seniors to meet the USDA recommended
daily nutrition requirements. Monday through Friday, we have 4 home delivered
meal routes delivering hot meals and fresh supplements to Seniors throughout
the City of Sumter. Monday through Thursday we have 4 home delivered meal
routes delivering frozen entrees and fresh supplements throughout Sumter
County. While most of our services are provided free of charge, some of our
services are paid for through cost sharing, and/or client contributions.
We also provide meals to Seniors through private pay services. To qualify,
you must be at least 60 years or older, and be a homebound Senior who is
unable to purchase, prepare, and/or otherwise obtain their own meal.
