Home Delivered Meals, a food delivery service operated out of Marshfield Medical Center in Marshfield, will continue to support local residents in need.

The program was recently approved to receive United Way grant funding through March 31, 2027. “We’re thrilled with the ongoing support from the United Way and our collaboration with Marshfield Clinic,” said Kristin Hughes, Home Delivered Meals coordinator. “Marshfield Medical Center has been the foundation for the program since we started serving individuals in 1986.”

Meals are available to anyone living in the city of Marshfield, although most participants are older or disabled adults. Deliveries operate 365 days a year. A Marshfield Clinic dietitian oversees the nutrition of the meals.

Trays are made specifically for each recipient, taking into consideration all health and dietary needs (diabetic, low cholesterol, edentulous, gluten free, 2GNA, no MSG, pureed, ground, soft, heart healthy).

Food and Nutrition Services team members at Marshfield Medical Center prepare the more than 21,000 meals made annually. Volunteer drivers deliver them to homes, at times accompanied by Marshfield Clinic residents and interns.

“This is an incredibly valuable resource for our community,” said Hughes. “It keeps people living independently in their homes, can bridge them after hospital stays and helps give their families peace of mind.”
