Meals on Wheels
The Health Trust Meals on Wheels delivers hot, nutritious meals five days a week, sometimes with the option of a once-a-week frozen meal, to seniors and adults with disabilities. In addition to the meals, our drivers also provide daily wellness checks, making sure that our clients are safe, alert, and cared for.
Friends from Meals on Wheels
Friends from Meals on Wheels is a friendly visitor program aimed at decreasing social isolation and loneliness in homebound seniors. It targets low-income seniors who are 75 years of age or older, live alone, and/or are people of color.
Medically Tailored Meals
The Health Trust is currently serving Medically Supportive Food and Meals through the CalAIM Community Supports program. Our contracts with both Santa Clara Family Health Plan and Anthem Blue Cross allow us to provide eligible Medi-Cal clients with meals and nutrition care services. We truly believe in the transformative power of healthy food, especially for those suffering from long-term chronic diseases.

Food in Housing
A product of our Food for Everyone work, the Food in Housing program increases food security for high-need permanent supportive housing clients by providing them with nutritionally appropriate bags or boxes of food filled with non-perishables, produce, and/or cooked or no-cook food.
Free Grocery
In partnership with Second Harvest Silicon Valley, The Health Trust offers free grocery distribution at the Tropicana Shopping Center in East San Jose on the first Wednesday of the month. The Free Grocery program addresses the needs of low-income individuals and households that lack reliable access to affordable, nutritious food and may experience hunger on a regular basis.
