Volunteer drivers deliver meals to those who are homebound four days a week; meals may be provided to cover a full seven-day week when needed. Upon receiving a request for home delivered meals, the service is generally started within 48 hours if the client meets general eligibility criteria. Within two weeks, a Center employee will visit the new client in their home to determine if they are fully eligible to receive meals at home, or whether they would benefit from coming in to the Center to have lunch, and take advantage of the other activities and services on offer.
