Meals on Wheels
Wilder’s Meals on Wheels is available Monday to Friday for adults ages 50+ and adults with limited mobility who are unable to access or prepare food. In partnership with Metro Meals on Wheels, we provide affordable, nutritious hot or frozen meals on weekdays to adults, older adults and seniors living in Midway, Frogtown and the surrounding neighborhoods of Saint Paul. Caring Wilder volunteers help pack and deliver locally-made meals and smiles every weekday and serve as a lifeline for many people who live alone, have difficulty cooking and preparing meals, or are home due to health conditions, disabilities or limited mobility.
- Healthy meals are also available for purchase and pick up at Wilder's Healthy Aging & Caregiving Services new location, 941 Lafond Ave., Saint Paul, MN 55104.

Roosevelt's wife, Maribeth, was pleasantly surprised to learn that Meals on Wheels offers versions of its made-from-scratch, healthy meals specifically for people with diabetes and other health needs. Even better, the meals were affordable – and volunteers delivered the food to the Jacksons’ Saint Paul home.
The food was good, and it was what he needed.
We accept private pay and waiver programs. Private Pay prices are based on a sliding fee scale, starting at $5.80. Once monthly payment is received, meal delivery can begin. To inquire about waiver eligibility through a MnCHOICES assessment in Ramsey County, clients and family members can call the Ramsey County Intake Line at 651-266-3613 or email them RCMnCHOICES.Intake@ramseycounty.us
