Blizzard Meals

Older Adults Services: LSS Meals

For I was hungry and you fed me…. Matthew 25:35

What We Do

LSS Meals and Meals on Wheels is a joint partnership of your community and Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota to provide nutritious meals and social contact for individuals 60 or older.

Project Location

Assemble boxes at your congregation and deliver to an LSS Meals location. Contact the LSS Meals representative listed at the bottom of this post in order to coordinate your drop off. Meals must be delivered to 1605 Eustis Street, St. Paul or an LSS Meal site (all sites are in Western MN). Lutheran Social Service is unable to pick up meals from your location.

**Please Note: In packing meals into boxes for delivery please limit box size to include no more than 11 meals per box. (More than 11 meals make boxes too heavy).

What You Can Do

“Blizzard Meals”: Create shelf-stable meals for Meals on Wheels for older adults.
