Wilder’s Meals on Wheels is available Monday to Friday for adults ages 50+ and adults with limited mobility who are unable to access or prepare food. In partnership with Metro Meals on Wheels, we provide affordable, nutritious hot or frozen meals on weekdays to adults, older adults and seniors living in Midway, Frogtown and the surrounding neighborhoods of Saint Paul. Caring Wilder volunteers help pack and deliver locally-made meals and smiles every weekday and serve as a lifeline for many people who live alone, have difficulty cooking and preparing meals, or are home due to health conditions, disabilities or limited mobility.
