For almost 50 years, the Skagit County Meals on Wheels program has been dedicated to ensuring that no senior goes hungry or isolated in Skagit County. The incidence of malnutrition is prevalent in the senior population due to factors such as limited income, isolation, chronic disease, and mobility. The delivery of hot, healthy meals and regular wellness checks helps seniors remain in their homes, promoting independence and dignity and preventing malnutrition.
