 Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) does not cover Meals on Wheels.  

No, meals on wheels cannot accept food stamps. 

While some Meals on Wheels locations are, Meals on Wheels of Charlotte County is not.  We rely solely on cash donations and proceeds from donations sold in our Thrift Store.

If you need to cancel for any reason, we require a 48 hour notice. Unless due to health emergency such as hospitalization.   Any late cancellations will be billed for that days meal.

We require our clients place a cooler outside of their door with ice to ensure safe delivery of our meals. If you are physically unable to do so, special accommodations will be made.
