Meals on Wheels &
Senior Dining Centers
The Council on Aging's Meals on Wheels program provides hot, noontime meals for those who are unable to shop or cook.
Although Meals on Wheels primarily serves frail seniors, it is available to all Martin County residents who have a need for this service, whether on a permanent or temporary basis (for example, following surgery).
The Council on Aging of Martin County's Meals on Wheels program is certified by the Meals on Wheels Association of America.
In addition to the home-delivered meals, we also host three Senior Dining Centers at the Indiantown Civic Center, the 10th Street Community Center in Stuart, and the Log Cabin in Jensen Beach. Learn more about our Senior Dining Centers by scrolling to the bottom of the page.
By being part of the Meals on Wheels program, clients gain a vital safety net beyond the guarantee of a hot, healthy lunch. For many of our clients, the daily delivery is their only consistent opportunity for social interaction with another person. When our volunteers deliver a meal, they actively check our clients' well-being. They are trained to respond to emergencies, and on many occasions have been instrumental in saving the life of a client in distress. Meals on Wheels is much more than a home-delivered meal ... it is a "well-check."
Help us end senior isolation and hunger in Martin County.

Senior Dining Centers
Senior Dining Centers are an ideal option for active seniors who need assistance in maintaining adequate nutrition. The Centers offer an opportunity to meet and socialize with others while enjoying a hot, noontime meal. No fees are charged for the lunches, but donations are accepted.
Our Senior Dining Centers are open during lunchtime hours Monday through Friday.
Please call the Center nearest to you at least two days in advance to make your reservation to ensure that we have an accurate count of the lunches that are needed. We ask that first-timers arrive 10 minutes early to complete basic paperwork for our records.
