La Habra Meals on Wheels, Inc. is a nonprofit, volunteer community service providing home delivered meals since 1974 for anyone unable to prepare or obtain adequate meals, regardless of race, religion, sex, age or ability to pay.
Our mission is to help the disabled, aged and chronically or temporarily ill by providing nourishing meals delivered by a friendly, well-trained volunteer at a nominal cost. Our objective is to provide daily, caring contact and nutritious meals to our clients so they remain self-sufficient and in their home environment as long as possible.
Our meals are prepared as a service to the communities of La Habra and La Habra Heights by Meals on Wheels Orange County in Anaheim. Meals are delivered by volunteers between 11 am and 12:30 pm, Monday through Friday, except on the following holidays:
- President's Day
- Memorial Day
- 4th of July
- Labor Day
- Veteran's Day
- Thanksgiving Day, the Friday after
- Christmas Day
- New Year's Day
We deliver a holiday meal the day before the holiday.
On Thanksgiving, if requested a home-cooked Thanksgiving meal is provided by Calvary Chapel of La Habra.
Each delivery consists of a mini breakfast, a lunch with a piece of fresh fruit and a frozen meal for dinner plus 1% milk and juice. The menus are varied, portions are controlled and meals are planned to provide more than two-thirds of recommended nutritional needs. Meals are sugar-free and lower sodium diet friendly. Meals are provided regardless of ability to pay and clients unable to afford the cost may qualify for a full or partial meal subsidy.
