C.E.F.S. Meals on Wheels:
Keeping Seniors healthier longer is the primary mission of the C.E.F.S. Meals on Wheels Program
​
Since adequate nutrition is critical to health, functioning, and the quality of life, C.E.F.S. Meals On Wheels is an important component of home and community-based services for seniors over 60 years of age.
​
Congregate programs promote dignity and independence for seniors. The group dining program provides a socially interactive network which promotes mentally healthy activity and decreases creeping isolation and depression. Group dining provides a healthy meal, friendship, and fun to seniors over 60 years of age.
​
A home-delivered meal is so much more than a meal...it not only provides a hot nutritious meal but just as importantly, provides a daily check on the home-bound senior by a caring volunteer on a daily basis. A hot nutritious meal and a few moments of companionship can sometimes be enough to prevent early institutionalization for home-bound seniors.
For further information, call us at 217.342.2193, ext 2119.
​
Congregate and home-delivered meals are offered in five rural Illinois counties which include Christian, Clay, Effingham, Fayette, and Montgomery. Meal reservations are requested one day in advance. Each meal is provided for a suggested donation but all participants pay what they can afford to pay. Payments are confidential.
