Neighborhood Meals on Wheels Program
Neighborhood Meals on Wheels (NMOW) is available to residents in limited areas throughout the County of Santa Clara. Increasing socialization and access to daily, human interaction is a critical part of leading a healthy life as people age.
A contribution of $3.00 per meal is suggested, but no eligible participant will be denied a meal because of inability to contribute. These contributions support the growth of the program.
