Frozen Meals

The frozen meal program has become a popular alternative or supplement to the hot meal delivery program. One advantage of the frozen meals is the ability to select your own menu. Frozen meals are packaged in a lined cardboard container which can be placed in the microwave or oven. Each meal is labeled with cooking instructions as well as ingredients.
