Every week, you pick the recipes you want to try (except under the veggie meal plan) and HelloFresh will send you amazing recipes and all of the ingredients you need to prepare them.  They take care of meal planning and even do the shopping.  If you worry that your parents aren’t eating properly because it’s difficult for them to shop or just too much work, here’s a great way to have everything delivered in one box for three meals for two, four or six people, tailored to what they like (obviously buying the four person size would give you a week’s worth).  It’s also a great gift idea for someone recuperating, who is able to move around the house, but not up to getting dressed and shopping.  And through May 19th, use promo code: HELLOMOTHER for $20 off classic or vegetarian boxes.

Meals on Wheels offers delivery but you take what they offer and the hot meal is delivered for lunch (sandwiches for dinner).  Not only do most people prefer their larger hot meal for dinner, you also must be housebound for the program.  Most people can get out during warm, dry weather, but ice and snow or rain keep them shut-in.
