Home-Delivered Meals
TCAA's home-delivered meal service provides home-bound seniors and adults with disabilities the comfort and security of a hot, nutritious meal and a daily well-being visit with a dedicated TCAA staff or volunteer. Home-delivered meals are for those individuals who are home-bound and have limited ability to access or prepare meals on their own due to recovery from illness or a long-term/chronic condition. Meal delivery is available Monday through Friday depending on the verified level of need. Nutritious home-delivered meal services are available to qualified residents in the Tempe and South Scottsdale areas.
