Staying healthy, living at home and maintaining an independent lifestyle is the goal for many people. Did you know that more than 40 nutrients are needed to stay healthy? As we age, good nutrition is the key to keeping our bodies strong, preventing and recovering from illness, and slowing the progression of disease.

The Friendly Kitchen/Meals on Wheels of Roseburg is dedicated to providing a variety of healthful foods to those in need in our community. Meals are thoughtfully planned and prepared using fresh and local produce. The USDA’s dietary guidelines are followed to provide at least one third of the daily recommended allowance of essential nutrients.

Our meals provide a good source of proteins, calcium, vitamins A and C, fiber, and are low in sodium, sugar, and unhealthy fats. Menus are analyzed routinely by a Registered Dietitian to ensure high quality nutrition content is met for our participants.

Enjoy your meals and nourish your body through good nutrition.
