Chef Packs
If you lead an active lifestyle, but are unable to prepare your own meals (for whatever reason), you may want to consider Chef Packs — freshly prepared, frozen meals which are available for pick-up at our 4240 Fritch Avenue, Bethlehem office as often as you like. (Delivery is available in certain cases for homebound individuals.)
You can heat the meals right away in your microwave or regular oven, or store them in your refrigerator (for up to three days after they thaw) or your freezer for up to six months!

How much does it cost?
Chef Packs cost $5.25 per frozen meal (beginning February 1, 2012) and $1.00 for soup (minimum order of 6). They are ready for pick-up within 3 working days (delivered to your door for homebound individuals or available for pick-up).
Are Chef Packs an option for me?
The traditional Meals on Wheels program is best suited for clients who are homebound and unable to prepare their own meals. For them, a hot meal is delivered at lunch time (along with a bagged supper).
Chef Packs are a great option for people who have the ability to use the stove or a microwave oven and like the convenience of low-fat, low-salt prepared meals (especially those with dietary restrictions) that can be heated at their convenience.
