FAQs

  • What makes your meals different from other programs?

    We think there are a few details that set us apart from similar meal delivery programs. First, all our meals are cooked, prepared, and packaged in our kitchen right here in Anderson, SC. Our meals are created by our in-house chef and approved by a certified nutritionist, so they will always taste great and give you the nutrients you need.

    Then, we deliver our own meals! Our dedicated drivers & volunteers have each passed a background check, are certified to handle food, and - above all - they care about the individuals they deliver food to. Our frequent deliveries provide much-needed friendly visits and safety checks for isolated senior who otherwise would feel unsafe living alone.

  • How much do your meals cost?

    If you qualify, your meals can be paid for by Medicare, Medicaid, or other funding programs. That means our meals may not cost you anything out of pocket! Click here to find out if you can take advantage of these options, and call our office (1-888-516-4788) with any questions.

    If you are paying privately, our meals cost $8 each if we deliver them to you or $6 each if you want to pick them up yourself from either our Seneca or Anderson office. When you purchase our meals directly, $2 from the price of each meal is donated to Meals on Wheels Upstate South Carolina to help feed hungry seniors who cannot pay themselves and do not have any insurance to cover their meals.
