Meals on Wheels at the Milwaukie Community Center

The Milwaukie Community Center’s Nutrition Program, operated by NCPRD, has provided Meals on Wheels to community members in north Clackamas County for the last 40 years. Up to 75,000 meals are served each year to homebound older adults and people with disabilities. Nutritious meals are made fresh daily and delivered directly to homes by dedicated volunteers – rain or shine. Meals on Wheels isn’t just about nutrition; this program is also about connecting with the most vulnerable members of our community.

GET INVOLVED
The program’s success is dependent on the community’s support. Although federal funding covers a portion of meal costs, more than half must be raised through donations, fundraisers and the generosity of community partners. Every dollar counts in our efforts to keep this program financially viable and contributions of any size are appreciated.
✔ $3.00 helps pay for one meal (per person)
✔ $15.00 helps pays for meals for one week (per person)

During the month of March you can participate in March for Meals, a month-long campaign promoting donations throughout the community with support from area businesses. If you are part of a company that would like to get involved, please contact the Meals on Wheels office at 503-794-8035.

Just as critical as the funding of the program, are the volunteers that make it possible. The Milwaukie Center’s Nutrition Program is fortunate to include hundreds of volunteers with jobs ranging from delivery drivers to kitchen helpers to dining room servers. New volunteers are always needed and appreciated – whether volunteering daily, weekly or just for special fundraisers and events.

If you’d like to volunteer, please contact the Meals on Wheels office at 503-794-8035.
