Meals On Wheels

Overview

Please note: as of January 19, 2024. There is a temporary waiting list for the Meals on Wheels program.

The Meals on Wheels program is a public-private partnership that promotes health and improves quality of life for senior citizens. For those Bayonne seniors who cannot travel to our nutrition sites and who do not have the assistance of an agency or individual to prepare their meals, this program delivers a nutritious, hot lunch every weekday. Staff members and volunteers also provide companionship, as many program participants live alone. They also conduct a safety check during the visit to ensure the resident’s well-being.

The BEOF Meals on Wheels program currently provides meals to nearly 200 homebound seniors daily in Bayonne.

Eligibility

This program is available to homebound residents of Bayonne, N.J., age 60 and older.
