Meal Delivery Guidelines and Reminders

DO NOT LEAVE MEALS OUTSIDE

If no one is home to accept the meal delivery, please pass the meal along. Meals left outside will not stay at a safe temperature and pose a danger to our clients.

CALL IN NOT AT HOME CLIENTS

When clients are not home for meal delivery, calling the Not-at-Home line (ext. 1060) allows our team to contact them and conduct necessary wellness checks.

FOLLOW THE ROUTE SHEET

When delivering, follow the route sheet and deliver only to clients presented for that day. Also note any highlighted additional nutrition and juice beverages.
