Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), a nonprofit organization that is the largest provider of in-home and community-based services for older adults and people living with disabilities in Southeastern Massachusetts, has announced that a special holiday meal will be available in November at Community Dining sites and delivered to Meals on Wheels recipients.

Nutrition Program
OCES’ Nutrition Program, which consists of Meals on Wheels, Community Dining, and Grab & Go meals, is critical to many older adults. Through OCES’ Nutrition Program, hundreds of nutritious meals are delivered each Monday through Friday to adults age 60+ living within 23 communities in greater Plymouth County. These are essential, nutritionally-sound and satisfying meals planned by a nutritionist. OCES offers a variety of meals including medically tailored meals (low sodium, cardiac meals, etc.) and seasonal meals throughout the year. With the help of hundreds of volunteers, the “Meals on Wheels” are delivered to individual homes. Each visit provides a safety and wellness check while addressing food insecurity, malnutrition and social isolation.
Meals on Wheels and Community Dining menus are published in COA newsletters and on OCES’ website at ocesma.org/programs-services/nutrition
