City of Seal Beach Senior Services
The City of Seal Beach offers a host of senior services, including Meals on Wheels, discounts on utility bills, parking and pet licenses and senior tax assistance.
Seal Beach/ OC Meals on Wheels During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Seal Beach Meals on Wheels program has become the lifeline to many seniors by being the sole source of free meal delivery in Seal Beach.
The City of Seal Beach Meals on Wheels is offered in partnership with OC Meals on Wheels.
Both homebound meals and congregate meals are available.
The homebound program is for seniors who are unable to pick up meals and need assistance with meal delivery, and the congregate lunch program is now available for seniors who are able or prefer to pick up meals (five frozen meals).
If seniors are interested in participating in either program, they must register first by calling the City’s Recreation Department at (562) 431-2527, ext. 1344.
For homebound individuals 60-plus years of age who are unable to shop and/or prepare meals for themselves, the City of Seal Beach delivers three meals directly to their home: breakfast items, a cold lunch, and a frozen dinner.
These meals, which provide 100 percent of the U.S Nutritional Recommended Dietary Allowance, are available five days per week at no cost to the community.
“This program is a testament to the incredible commitment of our staff team which provide the highest level of essential and vital services to our community in need during a major crisis,” said Seal Beach City Manager Jill Ingram. For more information about this program, contact the city’s Recreation Department at (562) 431-2527, ext. 1344.
