Island Senior Resources seeks to share the joys and help meet the challenges of aging in our Island County communities by providing integrated programs and services.

Nutrition Programs

Meals on Wheels, Community Meals, Frozen Take-Out Meals, & Liquid Nutritional Supplements for Island County Residents Age 60+

Beverly has to choose between heat or paying other bills. Her family lives far away, she can’t drive, and her phone is broken. I’m her Meals on Wheels delivery driver and often the only person she sees all week. We share stories from our lives; we’ve become friends. One day Beverly needed help. Had I not arrived, she would have had no way to reach anyone. I called ISR, which launched the staff into action to get her the help she needed. What would have happened if I hadn’t arrived? Instead, she’s OK this evening because of Meals on Wheels and people who care.  In 2023, our Nutrition program served over 93,000 meals.
