Meals are delivered Monday through Friday around the noon hour.
On average, meals can be delivered within 1 hour and are typically delivered by volunteers during their lunch break. In some cases, breakfast meals or frozen meals are provided for the weekend. Meals on Wheels San Antonio will also send out an extra meal the day prior to a holiday closure.
There is no charge for eligible clients provided adequate funding is available.
