Clients

Meals are for people who are able to maintain themselves in their own residence, but because of a handicap, convalescence, or the infirmities of age, are unable to shop for groceries and prepare meals on their own. Meals are provided, based entirely on need, without regard to a person’s sex, age, race, nationality or creed or ability to pay.
 
​Clients are interviewed by the MOW Intake Coordinator before service can start. The client must be able to eat the food we provide (there are no alternate food choices) and the residence must allow safe access for our drivers to park and deliver the meals.
Call 301-216-4200 for questions.

There is no delivery on 6 Holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day (Observed), Independence Day, Labor Day (Observed), Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
