Home Delivered Meals - featured resource of the month:
Many non-profit and service groups assist in the execution of this valuable daily resource.
This program enables homebound or convalescing residents of Winona and Goodview to receive a nutritious lunchtime meal delivered to their home if they are unable to prepare their own meals or attend a congregate dining site. This program was founded by volunteers and continues to rely heavily on volunteer support.
Please call the Winona Volunteer Services office for a current price quote or to volunteer, or call Community Health at 507.457.6400 regarding eligibility to the waiver program.
