For many older adults, a daily meal delivery is about much more than food. Spectrum’s Meals on Wheels program helps homebound seniors in the Tri-Valley remain safe, nourished, and connected while continuing to live independently at home.
Five days a week, our staff and volunteers knock on doors throughout Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, and Sunol to deliver hot, nutritious meals and provide friendly wellness checks. For some clients, this visit may be one of their only regular points of contact during the day.
Healthy, home-delivered meals are available for homebound seniors age 60 and older who are unable to prepare their own food and have difficulty with mobility. Hot, nutritious meals are delivered during the week, and frozen meals can be pre-ordered for weekends and holidays.
Funded in part by the Alameda County Area Agency on Aging, Spectrum’s well-balanced Meals on Wheels are prepared by Open Heart Kitchen in Livermore.
Volunteer With Meals on Wheels
Meals on Wheels is powered by compassionate volunteers who help make sure older adults in our community receive both a nutritious meal and a friendly check-in.
Volunteers deliver meals Monday–Friday, generally between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. in Pleasanton and 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. in Livermore. Routes are local, meaningful, and make a direct difference in the lives of homebound seniors.

Program Options
Every meal is planned with older adults’ health in mind. Our menus meet senior nutrition guidelines, are reviewed with Registered Dietitian oversight, and are designed to be heart-healthy and diabetic-friendly.

We welcome a voluntary contribution of $5 per meal. No senior will be refused a meal based on their ability or choice to contribute. Contributions are always voluntary and confidential. All contributions support food, supplies, labor, and services for our program. For individuals under 60 who do not meet eligibility guidelines, a guest fee of $18 applies.
