Senior Nutrition Program in Santa Clara County
Sourcewise helps homebound older adults in Santa Clara County stay nourished and independent through our local Meals on Wheels program.
Nutritious Meals Delivered to Your Door
Sourcewise partners with the Santa Clara County Senior Nutrition Program to offer Meals on Wheels for homebound adults aged 60 and older. This service helps older adults stay healthy, nourished, and independent—right in the comfort of their homes.
What’s on the Menu?
Each delivery includes a mix of seven breakfast meals, frozen lunch or dinner entrées, milk, and fresh fruit. Menus vary weekly and are carefully designed to meet one-third of a senior’s daily nutrition needs. Some meals are microwavable for easy prep.
Who Qualifies for Meals on Wheels?
To be eligible, individuals must:
- Be age 60 or older
- Live alone or with a spouse
- Be in frail health
- Be unable to regularly shop for or prepare meals
Spouses of eligible participants can also receive meals, regardless of age. A nutrition coordinator will complete a phone-based assessment to get started.
Cost and Contributions
There is no required fee to receive meals. A contribution of $1.80 per day is suggested, but no one is ever turned away if they cannot afford to pay.
A Personal Touch
Our nutrition team builds strong connections with the people we serve. Diane, our Lead Nutrition Coordinator, once discovered that a client couple had met her mother back in 1954—and even gave her a DVD of the show her mother starred in. “I was thrilled I got a little piece of my mom back,” Diane shared.
How to Apply
To apply for Meals on Wheels, call (408) 350-3200, option 4.
Please leave your name, phone number, and a brief message. A nutrition coordinator will return your call within one business day.
