The Adults with Disabilities Home Delivered Meal Program is available for adults with disabilities who have no meal support and are unable to provide meals for themselves. The program provides nutritious meals to low-income disabled adults between the ages of 18 and 59 who would be at risk without a home delivered meal and/or have difficulty accessing nutritionally balanced meals on a daily basis.
To see if you are eligible for this program, please contact IOA CONNECT at 415.750.4111 or fill out the form on the right.
Once eligibility is confirmed, we partner with Project Openhand, Meals on Wheels and Self Help for the Elderly to provide at-home meal delivery services.
This program serving the community is funded by the City of San Francisco’s Department of Disability and Aging Services.

Being a caregiver is rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming. Whether you’re caring for a parent, spouse, or loved one, small changes can make a big difference in both your life and theirs. Here are 5 essential tips every caregiver should know! 👇
→ Prioritize Self-Care: You can’t pour from an empty cup. Make time for rest, healthy meals, and stress management.
→ Seek Support: You are not alone. Connect with other caregivers, join a support group, or reach out for professional help.
→ Encourage Independence: Let your loved one do what they can. Small tasks help maintain dignity and confidence.
→ Plan for the Unexpected: Have a backup plan for emergencies, and keep important documents easily accessible.
→ Celebrate the Small Wins: Every smile, every moment of connection, every step forward counts.
