BROCKTON AND PLYMOUTH, MA… Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the largest nonprofit provider of in-home and community-based services for older adults and people living with disabilities in Southeastern Massachusetts, has announced that a special meal will be available in November at community dining sites and will also be delivered to Meals on Wheels recipients.
On Wednesday, November 26, 2025, OCES will provide a delicious Thanksgiving meal featuring roast turkey, whipped sweet potatoes, butternut squash, pullman wheat bread, and apple pie. A reservation for the Thanksgiving meal must be made in advance. People in need who are not current recipients of OCES services are welcome to attend and are encouraged to call OCES if they are experiencing worsened or additional food insecurities due to SNAP changes.
Nutrition Program
OCES’ Nutrition Program, which consists of Meals on Wheels, Community Dining, and Grab & Go meals, is critical to many older adults. Through OCES’ Nutrition Program, hundreds of nutritious meals are delivered each Monday through Friday to adults age 60+ living within 23 communities in greater Plymouth County.
These nutritionally-sound and satisfying meals are planned by a nutritionist. OCES offers a variety of meals including medically-tailored meals (low sodium, cardiac meals, etc.) and seasonal meals throughout the year.
With the help of hundreds of volunteers, “Meals on Wheels” are delivered to individuals in their homes. Each visit provides a safety and wellness check while addressing food insecurity, malnutrition and social isolation.
Meals on Wheels and Community Dining menus are published in COA newsletters and on OCES’ website at ocesma.org/programs-services/nutrition
