Home Delivered Meals (HDMs)

The Agency provides a well -balanced (1/3 RDA-recommended daily allowance) lunch meal for delivery to residents of Dauphin County who have been determined to be eligible for the program by the Agency’s Care Management Unit because of physical, mental, or emotional disability, and without a caregiver who is able to provide meals on a regular basis. Lunch meals are delivered by volunteers, 5 per week, who observe, in the brief contact, the well-being of the homebound individual receiving the meal. The volunteers are recruited by community “Home Delivered Meals” volunteer groups. Recipients are encouraged to make a volunteer contribution toward the cost of the meals according to their financial ability.

To request home delivered meals, please call the Dauphin County Area Agency on Aging at 717-780-6130.
