Eligibility Requirements for Foodnet Meals on Wheels Program

Named one of the Top 50 brokers in the US by Registered Representative Magazine and one of the Top 100 Advisors by Barron's, Keefe Gorman has served as a broker with Merrill Lynch since 1987. In addition to his role with Merrill Lynch, Keefe Gorman spent eight years as a board member with Foodnet/Meals on Wheels of Tompkins County.

To support its mission of alleviating hunger among Tompkins County seniors, the Foodnet Meals on Wheels program aims to preserve dignity and independence as it delivers hot meals directly to clients’ homes. Any adult aged 60 and over who is homebound due to an accident or illness is eligible for meal delivery. Additionally, the program is available to seniors who do not have resources such as a refrigerator or stove, those who are unable to shop for themselves, or those who lack the knowledge and experience to prepare nutritious meals.

In some cases, non-elderly disabled individuals may be eligible under the program, as may non-disabled individuals who wish to purchase meals under the Foodnet Select program.
