Mission Statement:

La Porte Meals On Wheels' mission is to deliver meals to homebound people who cannot adequately prepare their own meals because of illness, physical disability, or age.  By delivering their meals to them, they are able to remain in their own homes, relatively independent.  This service often enables an earlier release from the hospital.  It helps to restore and/or maintain health with proper nutrition.  It is La Porte Meals on Wheels' policy to service clients without regard to race, religion, sex, age, or handicaps.  Any ill or disabled person certified by a physician as unable to prepare adequate food at home may apply for this service.
