MOW prepares and delivers three meals daily <br /> directly to the homes of homebound, frail, and socially isolated seniors in the City. A <br /> registered dietician plans the meals to assure 100% of the U. S. Nutritional <br /> Recommended Daily Allowance - consisting of breakfast, a cold lunch, and a frozen <br /> dinner. In addition to meals, clients benefit from daily contact with delivery staff as well as <br /> the calls and/or visits from caseworkers who regularly check on their well-being. <br /> The Senior Lunch Program helps alleviate poor nutrition among the elderly population, <br /> especially prevalent among those who live alone and/or on a limited income. This nutrition <br /> program is normally available at two sites in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Senior Center and <br /> Southwest Senior Center) and seeks to enhance the physical and mental well-being of <br /> the elderly population by: <br /> • Encouraging a sense of dignity; <br /> • Providing stimulating activities and volunteer opportunities; and <br /> • Augmenting participants' financial resources by providing donation-based meals. <br />
