MEALS ON WHEELS
Many seniors have difficulty shopping for food and preparing their own meals. As a result, they might skip a meal because they don’t have food or because they just can’t prepare it themselves. This is where Kane Senior Council comes in.
Our caterers prepare a wide variety of food that is specially created for the needs of seniors – including those with special dietary needs. The meals are single-serve, easy to eat and delivered right to the seniors by our volunteers.

FOOD MENU / CALENDAR
The meals that KSC delivers to seniors offers something to everyone. From more traditional foods to healthy salads to a variety of ethnic foods, seniors will not become bored of the food they receive. Each meal we deliver to a senior’s home include 1%, skim milk or calcium fortified water and margarine. For seniors requiring a special diet due to diabetes or need caloric control, we offer substitutions.
Please note that some of our menu items are subject to change without prior notice.
We Are More Than Meals
Meals are just one part of the Meals on Wheels program that Kane Senior Council delivers with each visit. In addition to the food, our seniors receive a Well-Being Check and, if necessary, an Emergency Follow-Up if something is not right.
While these steps make sure that our seniors are safe, it also helps us build a trusting and lasting relationship with the seniors who count on us.
About Home Delivered Meals
We take great care in creating the meals that we deliver to seniors. Each meal that KSC provides are low in salt and cholesterol. For seniors who prefer a vegetarian meal or require a diabetic or pureed meal, we can provide for those special needs.
KSC works closely with a Registered Dietician to ensure that the meals we deliver follow the 1/3 Dietary Reference Intake established by the U.S. Government and provides the nutritional needs of our seniors.
