Who We Are

Meals on Wheels of Wyoming Valley is a non-profit organization that provides nutritious, home-delivered, low-cost meals to people in need. We serve seniors, people on fixed and limited incomes, anyone recently discharged from a hospital or nursing home, folks who are convalescing from illness, and anyone who is unable to prepare meals for themselves.

Since 1969, Meals on Wheels of Wyoming Valley has served the region from the kitchens of the Church of Christ Uniting in Kingston, Pennsylvania.

What makes us special compared to other Meals on Wheels organizations is that we do not accept any government funding or subsidies. Instead, we are 100% funded by meal payments and your generous donations. 

Did you know? Meals on Wheels can serve a senior for an entire year for about the same cost as just 1 day in a hospital or 10 days in a nursing home.


Free Home Delivery

Our clients receive a home-delivered hot meal and a cold boxed lunch each day, Monday through Friday. Our registered dietitian directs the program and supervises the preparation of the meals each day. Diabetic diets are also available. We currently deliver to more than 100 individuals, regardless of their age or income status. In addition, as a means of respite for a caregiver, our meals can be delivered to an individual for a temporary period of time.

Meal Delivery Features:

  • Serving Wilkes-Barre and Surrounding Areas
  • Receive 1 Hot Meal and 1 Cold Box Meal DAILY, Monday – Friday
  • $6 Per Day x 5 Days Per Week = 10 Meals Total
  • Diabetic Meals Upon Request
  • Complimentary Delivery to Your Home
  • Just $30 a Week 

Did you know? Our clients pay only $6 per meal, while the cost to make meals is around $9 per meal.

Donations help us offset that cost and continue providing meals and delivering smiles to individuals throughout Wyoming Valley. All donations to Meals on Wheels of Wyoming Valley during NEPA Gives will be used to offset the cost of meals, keeping meals affordable and accessible to those who need them.

Meals on Wheels of Wyoming Valley provides seniors with access to adequate nutrition, friendly conversation and a watchful eye on their well-being.

In addition to seniors, we provide meals to people:

  • on fixed and limited incomes
  • veterans and people with special needs
  • recently discharged from a hospital 
  • recently discharged from a nursing home
  • convalescing from illness
  • unable to prepare meals for themselves

We couldn't do this without your support! Thank you!
