Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels is a program that delivers well-balanced meals to eligible seniors or physically handicapped adults.

The meals are prepared by Columbus Community Hospital’s Nutrition Services Department and are delivered by community volunteers.

Each well-balanced meal includes meat and potatoes or a casserole, as well as a vegetable, salad, dessert, bread and milk. Special diets can also be accommodated. The meals cost $5.77 a day and CCH bills at the end of each month for the meals received. Financial assistance is available through the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. To reach them, call 402-564-1113.

If bad weather prevents the delivery of meals, the cancellation will be announced on KTTT and KLIR radio. To cancel a meal delivery themselves, Meals on Wheels participants need to call 562-4466 by 6 p.m. the day before the cancellation so they will not be charged for that meal.
