Home Delivered Meal Program
Metroport Meals On Wheels delivers meals Monday through Friday to the homes of those who are unable to provide meals for themselves. The communities we serve are:
Argyle, Aurora, Bartonville, Bedford, Boyd, Colleyville, Grapevine, Haslet, Justin, Keller, Newark, Northlake, North Richland Hills, Roanoke, Rhome, Southlake, Trophy Club and Westlake. In some communities, we also serve meals on Saturdays.
Volunteers both coordinate meal delivery and actually deliver meals in those communities. New volunteers are screened before being assigned to a volunteer group. A criminal background check is conducted on all volunteers.
