McIntosh Trail's Meals On Wheels serves persons who are homebound, unable to prepare a nutritious meal, and do not have anyone able to prepare a nutritious meal on a regular basis. 

The vast majority of MOW recipients are over 70 years of age and low income. However, there is not an income requirement to receive Meals on Wheels. For those recipients who are able to pay, we charge a $3.75 fee for each meal.  

Eligibility

To be eligible for Meals On Wheels a person must be homebound, unable to prepare a nutritious meal, and not have anyone able to prepare a nutritious meal on a regular basis.  Nutrition programs are provided through the  area senior center for each county.

Application Process

Anyone may recommend a person to be considered for receiving Meals On Wheels. Most of our referrals come from family members, friends, McIntosh Trail Management Services, Southern Crescent AAA, or the clients themselves. To receive Meals On Wheels, clients or families of clients who are seeking funding for meals should contact Southern Crescent AAA at 770-854-6026 or (toll free) 1-866-854-5652.   At the time of the referral call, Southern Crescent will obtain information about the client's health problems as well as his/her date of birth, social security number, doctor's name and phone number,  emergency contact persons and phone numbers, and other pertinent information to determine nutritional and funding needs.  In turn,  the Council on Aging for McIntosh Trail, Inc. will interview the client, assess his/her needs and begin the program.
