Meals That Nourish and Connect
Daily nutrition, friendly visits, and support you can count on
Age Well’s Meals on Wheels delivers three meals each weekday to older adults who are homebound or unable to cook. Designed by a registered dietitian, meals support senior health and nutrition. Each delivery includes a wellness check and a friendly visit from a trained volunteer. We serve qualified seniors throughout South Orange County and Irvine to help them stay nourished, safe, and independent at home.
What to Expect:
- Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner carefully prepared to meet senior nutritional needs

Providing Meals on Wheels to South Orange County
Annually, we deliver over 500,000 nutritious meals through Meals on Wheels to seniors who are living at home with little or no assistance to obtain adequate meals.
Age Well's Meals on Wheels program is here for anyone who can benefit from home-delivered meals with a focus on South Orange County's older adults and people with disabilities.
Who Qualifies?
To qualify for Meals on Wheels, you or your loved one must:
• Be 60+ years old.
• Be a resident in one of the areas we serve.
• Must be homebound because of disability, illness, or lack of mobility.
This means you may have a hard time with shopping or preparing food and don't have a friend or family member around to always help.
If you are in need of Meals on Wheels and are not in our service area, please contact National Meals on Wheels at 1(800) 677-1116

After my daughter moved to Canada I wasn't sure how I was going to do without her help, but luckily I was told about Meals on Wheels and Age Well. The meals have made life stable for both her and I. I know she does not have to worry as much, and neither do I. On top of that the senior center has filled my days with so much joy and friendship that I did not expect."
