Catholic Charities of Fairfield County, Inc. has sponsored the Senior Nutrition Program for more than 37 years serving over 400 elderly individuals on a daily basis. We provide nutritious meals, through Meals on Wheels, and at Senior Community Café sites, to individuals 60 years and older. There is a suggested donation to help cover the meal costs.

Success Story from Senior Nutrition Program’s Meals on Wheels

One of our Meals on Wheels clients, George, lives in the Norwalk area – he’s been on the program since 2019, he is a veteran, lives alone, and has multiple health issues. He’s so grateful for the meals as they have kept him out of the hospital and he finds comfort knowing he can always count on the delivery, especially because his family does not live in the area.

He has a wonderful rapport with the Driver who meets him at the front door of the building daily – they chat about the Yankees and it gives the Driver an opportunity to provide a daily safety check. On the rare occasion the Driver arrives and he is not home, he calls George to ensure he is ok.
