    Must be genuinely home-bound by reason of physical or emotional health

    Must be unable to prepare nutritious meals for themselves or have no one else living in the home who could do this for them

Other Information:

    Delivery

·        We entrust delivery to trained SPAN volunteers.

    Donations

·        No charge is made for the meal, but donations are encouraged.  The donations may be given to the volunteer or directly to the SPAN office.

    Assessment Requirements

·        SPAN staff will contact applicants in order to complete an assessment which must take place before meal delivery begins.

    Cancellation

·        The meal recipient or representative is asked to inform the site manager or SPAN office at least 24 hours in advance if they will not be home to accept a meal.  Cancellations may be long or short term, such as when a recipient goes away to stay with relatives or if a recipient goes to the doctor.  Delivery can be resumed the day after the recipients return home if SPAN is notified by noon the day before the meal is to be received.

    Delivery Problems

·        In the event that the client does not answer the door, the volunteer is to leave a printed yellow card explaining that the meal cannot be left.  We do not leave the meal.

    Office/Meal Site Closures

·        We do not deliver meals in icy weather or on major holidays. Shelf-stable meals are also sent in advance of most major holidays.
