Overview

Mission

The mission of neighborhood house association is to provide a safe environment, resources, and education to empower our community to reach their fullest potential through all life stages.

What it reported doing in 2024

There is no financial criterion for this program. Seniors qualify for meals because they can no longer shop or cook for themselves due to illness, disability, or frailty. The program is funded by Illinois department on aging through central Illinois agency on aging, heart of Illinois united way, Illinois department of human services, as well as medicaid managed care programs, such as molina and meridian. The program also depends on donations and community funding. Meals are prepared, packaged, and delivered from neighborhood house monday through friday between the hours of 10:30 a.m. And 1:30 p.m. Frozen meals for dinner and or weekends are provided to seniors with the greatest need based on case coordination unit referrals and participant interviews. Not only do we provide for our clients' physical health by delivering nutritious meals, our presence allows us to also provide a wellness check at the time of delivery for clients, offering much needed social contact. For many of the people who receive services, the only person they see on a regular basis is their meals on wheels driver. This benefits our clients by having someone who consistently checks on them. Neighborhood house association delivered 229,796 meals to homebound seniors over 60 in the peoria and tazewell counties. Additionally, neighborhood house association provided 13,339 congregate meals at senior nutrition sites throughout peoria and tazewell counties.
