You should still qualify for meals on wheels.

Keep trying. You are the perfect example of why meals on wheels is in place. Homebound.

Also, Walmart and target are getting better at having food delivered to you. That is another option. Another possibility is Schwanns home delivery but they are expensive.

“Also, Walmart and target are getting better at having food delivered to you. That is another option.”

As I have a serious mobility problem, Walmart delivery of food has been a godsend to me. I can get most of what I need through their home delivery. Even milk. You can buy ultra pasteurized boxes of milk (I use Parmalot) that is real milk, and tastes great. It comes in special cardboard containers, by the quart.

Walmart also sells “survivor” food (it’s cheaper; I get Augason Farms brand) for such items as potato gems (makes wonderful mashed potatoes, just about any vegetable (like green/red peppers, mushrooms, corn, beans, onions, celery, etc.) that would otherwise spoil as can’t be kept long; that you rehydrate and therefore don’t need to go out to the grocery store all the time to buy fresh. Tastes just as good and great for stews, soups, etc. It’s amazing how innovative you have to get when you can’t walk well or are somehow housebound.

By the way, CVS Pharmacy now has curbside food pickup; you get their App online; place your order and they bring it out to your car. That way you can fill in the gaps for fresh food, as you can get bread, milk, butter, eggs, etc. Where there is a will, there is a way. Check out the CVS website for info.
