Great Plates Delivered:
Home Meals for Seniors
On April 24, Governor Gavin Newsom announced the launch of a first-in-the-nation “Great Plates Delivered” program, a meal delivery service for California’s older adults. There is no cost to recipients.

Great Plates Delivered has two purposes:
  1. Help seniors 65 and older, and other adults 60 to 64 who are at high risk from COVID-19, to stay home and stay healthy by delivering three nutritious meals a day,
  2. Provide essential economic stimulus to local businesses struggling to stay afloat during the COVID-19 crisis.

Eligibility:
  • Those who are COVID-19 positive (as documented by public health officials or a medical professional)
  • Individuals who were exposed to COVID-19 (as documented above) or those with an underlying health condition.
  • Individuals must live alone or with another eligible adult.
  • Participants must not be currently receiving assistance from another state or federal nutrition assistance program.
  • Yearly income for an individual is under $75,000 or for a couple is under $101,000.
  • Participants must affirm their inability to prepare or obtain meals.
  • If eligible, each individual will receive three meals daily. Each freshly prepared meal will be low sodium and will include a fruit or vegetable. No sugary drinks will be included in the delivered meals.
