Meals on Wheels, a program of Horizons

Providing Meals. Empowering Independence. Keeping Seniors in Their Homes.

What is Meals on Wheels?

We deliver hot, healthy, ready-to-eat meals daily in addition to frozen meals and breakfast bags to older adults and persons with disabilities in our community.

Our clients can receive meals for a short duration while they’re recovering from a hospital stay, as respite care for their family who usually provides meals, or on an ongoing basis each weekday.

Horizons, A Family Service Alliance is an equal opportunity provider.

More Than a Meal

With the passion of our dedicated volunteers, our program provides #MoreThanAMeal, connecting with people on a human level and monitoring their welfare to help them maintain independence, health, and financial stability. Discover how clients’ social determinants of health affect their health outcomes and how our volunteers make it possible for seniors to improve their quality of life!

If there is a Meals on Wheels client that you’re concerned about and needs help connecting to additional resources in the community.

Serving Linn, Johnson & Washington counties

We provide Meals on Wheels in Cedar Rapids and Johnson and Washington counties—where there is a growing need for volunteers.

Please fill out form to request Meals on Wheels service. Our Client Services Associate will follow up once we receive the request to determine eligibility.

Intended for current clients, a meal contribution is an additional act of support and appreciation for received services. Your contribution helps offset our costs and allows us to serve as many clients as possible. A contribution is encouraged, but we will never deny meals to someone that is unable to contribute.

Volunteer Voices

Dana Dinderman has volunteered with Horizons since 2020, finding fulfillment along her route as she delivers meals on a weekly basis.

“They are not just clients I deliver to, but friends, adopted grandparents and parents, and people that have become so important to me. My heart is full after delivering meals each week.”
