Meals on Wheels

TEAM is dedicated to addressing senior isolation and hunger – Meals on Wheels delivers nutritious meals, friendly visits and safety checks that support seniors to live nourished lives with independence and dignity. Designed to meet the nutritional and social needs of seniors, TEAM’s Meals on Wheels is available to homebound persons 60 years and older who reside in Ansonia, Derby, Oxford, Seymour, and Shelton.

For those able to get out of the house, we encourage them to participate in a meal program at one of our Senior Congregate Meals locations in the Valley.
