How would I get Meals-On-Wheels if I ever needed it, or if I have a neighbor who I think would benefit from it?

In North Kingstown, the local Meals on Wheels is a branch of Meals on Wheels of RI, which maintains an office in Providence. A local Volunteer Coordinator schedules drivers. To receive Meals on Wheels, certain criteria must be met and there is a recommended donation of $3.00 a day, usually collected weekly. Again, as with our noon meal, no one is turned away for lack of payment. To enroll in Meals on Wheels, you must call the Providence office at 401-351-6700.
