Crookston Home Delivered Meals is a non-profit agency that has provided meals in Crookston since 1976. Over 10,000 hot nutritionally balanced noon meals were delivered last year. Home Delivered Meals is provided up to five days a week to individuals who would otherwise not have a warm nutritious meal. Crookston residents can remain in their homes through the help of this program.
United Way Executive Director Lori Wagner said, “We love to serve our seniors, we want to keep our seniors in their homes.”
United Way makes it possible to help individuals who are unable to pay the full price of a meal. “United Way funds are used to offset the cost of meals for private pay individuals that do not have other sources of payments,” said Wagner.
Home Delivered Meals continues to strive to be self-sustaining through insurance reimbursements, state funding, donations, and United Way funding. Home Delivered Meals are prepared by New Horizon Foods at Riverview Healthcare. Special diets are available as needed under the direction of a registered dietitian.
Home Delivered Meals is able to provide this service with the help of over 50 organizations, businesses, clubs, and churches. With the help of over 1000 volunteers a year we can provide delivery of meals.
