LANSING, Ill. (April 2024) – Since 1978, Lansing Meals On Wheels has prepared and delivered fresh, hot meals to senior citizens, patients recovering from medical procedures, and home-bound residents who are unable to cook for themselves.
The program is a not-for-profit business operating out of the First United Methodist Church. It relies heavily on volunteers and donations for its success.
Meals are delivered on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10:30 a.m. and noon, and usually consist of an entrée, a carb (potato, rice, or noodles), a vegetable, bread, and a dessert.
The cost of a meal is $4.00, which can be paid by cash or check to the volunteer driver or mailed to:
- FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

18420 BURNHAM AVENUE
LANSING, IL 60438
