Meals On Wheels
Mizell Senior Center has the largest Meals On Wheels Program in the Coachella Valley, serving an average of 140 meals each day to homebound seniors in Palm Springs and Cathedral City. For many of these clients, the Meals on Wheels driver is their only outside contact, and a connection to the world and services that they would otherwise be unable to access. Meals are delivered daily, Monday through Friday with special meals on holidays. We also offer supplemental nutrition to qualified clients that includes breakfast food, milk, juice and fruit.
The Mizell Senior Center Meals On Wheels Program delivers over 30,000 meals to frail and homebound seniors every year. Without this program, many area seniors would not be receiving sufficient balanced nutrition. The program consists of more than just meal delivery. Our drivers are trained to recognize issues that may be affecting their client. Mizell Senior Center is then able to make the appropriate referrals for services that these seniors might otherwise not even know about. As the largest program of its kind in the Coachella Valley, the Mizell Senior Center Meals On Wheels Program is a critical component in the overall senior safety net.
