Did You Know? The Payson Senior Center Serves 140+ Meals Every Day

The Payson Senior Center’s Meals on Wheels program delivers hot, nutritious meals to more than 140 homebound seniors every Monday through Thursday. Six dedicated delivery routes cover Payson, Star Valley, and surrounding areas.

But Meals on Wheels is about more than food. For many homebound seniors, the delivery driver is the only person they see all day. That brief conversation at the door — checking in, making sure they’re okay — can be the difference between isolation and connection.

The program runs on a combination of federal funding, town support, and donations. Every dollar donated stays local and directly supports meal preparation and delivery.

By the Numbers:

140+ meals delivered daily. 6 delivery routes. 4 days per week, Monday through Thursday. More than 30,000 meals served annually. Zero seniors turned away.

If you know a homebound senior who could use a daily meal and a friendly face, call the Payson Senior Center at (928) 474-4874. And if you’d like to volunteer as a delivery driver, we’d love to hear from you too.
