Meals On Wheels Atlanta

About

Senior Citizen Services delivers meals, free of charge, to low income seniors in the metropolitan Atlanta area.

Story

Senior Citizen Services of Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc. (SCS) was the first and still remains of one of the largest providers of home-delivered meals in Atlanta. The agency works closely with other organizations to meet the needs of Atlanta’s elderly who depend on this life-sustaining service. SCS’s Meals on Wheels Atlanta (MOWA) program provides fresh, nutritious meals which meet at least one third of the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) for seniors – meeting and exceeding the federal guidelines. The MOWA program enables our clients to remain independent in their own homes and communities for as long as possible. Besides receiving nutritious meals, regular visits with volunteers and staff offer clients support, friendship, and for many clients, their only contact with the outside world.
Meals provided are prepared from a menu designed by a nutritionist-dietician. These meals are designed to provide the necessary nutritious components for individuals who are on regular and therapeutic diets.

Mission
