Let's Get Started!

Together, we hope to help you eat right, stay healthy and live well!

Each delivery includes two complete, freshly prepared meals each weekday ˗ a hot dinner, lunch, dessert and beverage.

Included with every delivery is a “Friendly Visit” from a Meals on Wheels of Long Beach delivery volunteer. These visits enable MOWLB staff to provide daily wellness checks for all of our clients.

Once you become a Meals on Wheels of Long Beach (MOWLB) client, you will be contacted by a member of our Client Support Program (CSP) to assist you with referrals for supportive services that will enable you to remain safe and comfortable at home. Our CSP team members will check to make sure your service is going smoothly and inquire about additional needs you might have and how we may be able to assist you.

  • For individuals who cannot afford our fee for service, they may qualify for funding support.

    These clients, during our intake process, must show that they are low-income or extremely low-income, and provide a doctor’s note indicating they are homebound and need financial assistance through our meal subsidy or sponsorship programs.

    These subsidies are supported by foundation grants, individual donors and fundraising projects. In addition, MOWLB is a service provider for SCAN Health Plan, providing meal service to their approved members.

  • Meals are delivered to your door Monday through Friday between 10:30am and 12:30pm. Meals cannot be left at your doorstep if no one is home, but we are always happy to make special delivery arrangements with you.

I feel like I'm on vacation. I'm gaining weight and I get to meet a variety of new people. I am grateful for the program. The food is fresh and good, the service is wonderful, and the visitors are so nice and helpful.

Since I no longer drive, Meals on Wheels allow me more independence by not having to ask someone to take me shopping so often.

I really want to say thank you to Meals on Wheels because if it wasn't for this service I would not be eating. When my husband died I had no one to turn to for help, but now, because of you, I now have someone to depend on.
