Frozen Meals
In addition to the delivery of hot meals Monday to Saturday, Meals on Wheels has frozen meal delivery. The frozen meal program has become a popular alternative or supplement to the traditional hot meal delivery. One advantage of the frozen meals is the ability to select your own menu.
TimeSaver and Apetito items have been combined onto one easy-to-read order menu. Once you are a client with us, please order by number.
NEW: If you are already a client, you can now order online here. To order Apetito directly, click here and to order TimeSaver, click here.
What kind of meals are available?
We are pleased to offer Time Saver Foods. Call us for more information.
