Home Delivered Meal Programs

The goal of a home delivered meal program is to enable homebound adults to remain in their community with independence and dignity.

A nutritionally balanced meal is delivered to eligible individuals who are unable to prepare their own meals or shop for food and do not have anyone to prepare meals or shop for them.

There are a number of home delivered meal programs in Bergen County. Residents are served through government or non-profit agencies.

This brochure provides you with the information necessary to contact the program serving your community.
