Meal Services
The Basics
- Meals are delivered Monday through Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 12:15 p.m.
- Most of our clients receive meals Monday through Friday. But, you may receive the meals any number of days per week that you prefer.
- The hospital prepares meals for us Monday through Friday with the exception of observed holidays. The hospital observes the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Day after Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. For holidays that fall on a Saturday or Sunday, meals are not provided on the observed weekday holiday.
- The food we provide is delivered in disposable containers. The meal will consist of an entrée, vegetable, starch and a dessert. Either soup or salad may be ordered for an additional $1.50 per meal. The menu will indicate what days salad or soup can be ordered. The hospital cannot accommodate food allergies and other dietary requests except for vegetarian and dysphagia IDDSI level 4 and 5. Diabetic recipients may be offered two vegetables in place of starch and fruit in lieu of dessert, if desired. No other accommodation will be made.
- Each Mobile Meals recipient is responsible for monitoring their own meals and intake. About the 20th of each month recipients will be provided with a schedule of meals the hospital dietician has planned for the following month. They will need to indicate what days, or meals, they would like delivered and return this form to the Mobile Meals Coordinator. Menus are subject to change based on availability of product and ingredients.
- Generous food portions which are often enough for both lunch and dinner.
- Daily well-
being check. - Assistance with cost of the meals, if needed.
- We do not refuse service due to inability to pay the full cost of the meal.
- If we are unable to deliver to you within our geographic area, or you do not meet our criteria, we will refer you to other groups that can help.

Meal Cost
The meals we deliver are purchased from Central Washington Hospital and the hospital generously donates the cost of labor to prepare food, charging only for the food itself.
Mobile Meals program does not receive government funding, so we ask our clients and their families to contribute what they can afford toward the cost of each meal.
Mobile Meals currently asks each recipient to pay $5.50 per meal. Depending on a recipient's ability to pay, this amount may be reduced on a case-
