This service offers meal delivery for seniors aged 60 and older who live in Yakima County, but it does not cover the Yakama reservation areas, which include Harrah, Toppenish, Wapato, White Swan, Parker, and Brownstown (for assistance, contact the Yakama Nation Area Agency on Aging at 509-865-7164).

To access home delivery, individuals must call to apply, and an eligibility evaluation will be arranged following the application. The eligibility assessment may take up to two weeks from the time of application, and if approved, meal delivery will commence within the same week as the assessment. For dining services, registration for meals is required before 3 PM, while the Meals On Wheels Cafe allows walk-ins without prior registration.

Fees: There is no charge for those aged 60 and above, and those under 60 who are spouses or dependents of eligible seniors. A suggested donation of $3 per meal is requested for those who qualify for free meals, while individuals under 60 who do not meet the criteria are charged $10. Spouses or dependents of qualifying participants under 60 are eligible for complimentary meals.
