Food and Friends–Grants Pass
We deliver meals to the homes of seniors who are unable to shop or prepare meals due to illness, injury, or disability. Meals are also available for eligible adults with disabilities.
Mission
Together, we strive to cultivate an equitable approach to improving the health, well-being and independence of older adults and adults with disabilities through nutrition services, meaningful social connections, and opportunities for education.
Food & Friends is the only Meals on Wheels program serving Jackson and Josephine Counties.
