Meals on Wheels
GLCAP Meals on Wheels offers weekday, home-delivered lunches for eligible Sandusky County seniors ages 60 and older. Last year, we delivered to more than 380 Sandusky County seniors in need of meals.
Meals are delivered each weekday by friendly drivers during the lunchtime hours.
Those interested in receiving Meals on Wheels will have a home assessment to determine eligibility. A donation for meals is suggested, but not required.
For more information on Meals on Wheels, call 419-333-5082. More information is also available in our Meals on Wheels brochure.
To cancel a meal delivery or schedule a change, call 419-332-4032.
A monthly menu and nutrition information on our meals is also available on our nutrition page.
Meals on Wheels Loves Pets
GLCAP’s Meals on Wheels Loves Pet program allows us to help Sandusky County seniors keep their dogs and cats fed by providing home-delivered pet food purchased from local stores, or donated to the program by our supporters. The program is available to Sandusky County seniors ages 60 and over.
Pet food quantities are limited, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. While we will attempt to match any preferred brand of food you may have for your pet, we may not be able to provide the exact brand of food, based on our supply.
If you are interested in enrolling or donating to the GLCAP Meals on Wheels Loves Pets program, please contact 567-280-1190 for more information.

Falls Prevention Week promotes senior safety
One out of every four adults age 65 and older falls every year. Those falls account for more than 850,000 hospitalizations and more than 29,000 deaths annually. These figures from the National Council on Aging (NCA) are why the NCA and Great Lakes Community Action Partnership (GLCAP) recognizes Sept. 21-25, 2020 as Falls Prevention Week.
Update on Sandusky County Senior Centers
In respect to Gov. Mike DeWine’s recent announcement that senior centers may reopen in late September, Great Lakes Community Action Partnership (GLCAP) Senior Services will now begin preparations for safely reopening its senior center services in Sandusky County. While the governor has stated that centers may reopen as soon as Sept. 21, a set reopening date for Sandusky County senior centers is yet to be determined, and will be decided in accordance with guidance from state and local health officials so as to ensure the safety of seniors and staff.
