The Raritan Valley YMCA (www.raritanvalleyymca.org) has teamed up with the Middlesex County Office of Aging & Disabled Services at 732-745-3295 to increase public awareness of services and opportunities for county seniors, the disabled, and their care givers. For information about the YMCA food distribution program, blood pressure screening program or senior exercise classes, call 732-257-4114.

How do I apply for the Meals-on-Wheels program?
The Senior Meal Program provides home-delivered meals to isolated, homebound seniors who have no formal or informal caregiver and are unable to attend a congregate meal program. An initial intake form is completed and processed to screen eligible residents for the program. The Senior Meal Program operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. For further information, residents may contact the main office at 732-745-3295 or view the Nutrition Services page.
