Meals on Wheels delivers between 140-160 meals daily to homebound patients and serves approximately 50-60 clients daily at the Senior Center. The program averages between 40,000-45,000 meals yearly for seniors and disabled clients in Bullhead City. Each client receives hot meals 2 times a week and frozen meals for the rest of the week.
