Round up in December to support the only Meals on Wheels program serving Jackson and Josephine counties! Food & Friends delivers meals to older adults who are unable to shop or prepare meals, while also providing vital social contact and a regular safety check for recipients.

Food & Friends strives to cultivate an equitable approach to improving the health, well-being and independence of older adults and adults with disabilities through nutrition services, meaningful social connections, and opportunities for education. They deliver meals to the homes of older adults who are unable to shop or prepare meals due to illness, injury, or disability. Meals are also available for eligible adults with disabilities.

Their volunteer drivers deliver more than 16,000 meals each month to individuals living independently at home, who, for health reasons, cannot make their own meals. An additional 3,000 meals are served each month at their 10 congregate senior dining sites with the help of our volunteers. Food & Friends typically serves over 235,000 meals to approximately 3,000 people in Jackson and Josephine Counties each year. Positive Change funds will be used to provide Meals on Wheels for local seniors who are home-bound due to age, infirmity, or frailty.
