The Carmel Foundation provides meal delivery to seniors that are homebound or have other special circumstances. Four meals are delivered on Wednesday morning every other week by a friendly volunteer. While these meals are not intended to meet all of an individual's needs, they can provide a break to a caregiver or augment other meal services.
The standard meal includes an entrée, soup and cookie that have been prepared by the Foundation chefs in their commercial grade kitchen. The fee is $6 per meal. For more information, please contact the Member Services at 831.624.1588.
