Meals on Wheels of Salem County, New Jersey delivers nutritious meals to elderly and disabled county residents who cannot shop for or prepare meals on their own because of physical or mental disabilities. 

Our main focus has always been on the importance of nutrition for those who are chronically ill and confined primarily to their homes due to illness or advancing age. The program’s ability to grow from serving 3,930 meals 33 years ago to over 45,000 a year has depended upon our dedicated volunteers as well as a volunteer Board of Trustees who remain committed to the organizational mission.

It is hard to imagine what Salem County would be like without such a program. Hundreds of your neighbors and their families are depending on us. As we enter our 4th decade, we hope you will join us in partnering with Meals on Wheels Association of America and take the Pledge to end senior hunger by 2020. Click here to learn more about Meals on Wheels and our services or call 856-935-3663.

To our many volunteers, donors and friends, we are deeply grateful. We know with your help, we will continue to touch lives…one meal at a time.
