The Meals on Wheels (MOW) programs - both Western and Chinese - are operating weekdays, Monday through Friday.
Some deliveries were temporarily suspended while new volunteers were being recruited and oriented during the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. We strongly recommend that all of our MOW clients order additional frozen meals and have available in their homes canned food or non-perishable items in case of disruptions to our delivery schedules.
