Mobile Meals of Dover-New Philadelphia, Inc. is a non-profit voluntary community food service providing area residents with nourishing food at a nominal cost. Mobile Meals serves those temporarily unable to prepare adequate meals for themselves. Permanent service is available to those who, without the service, would be unable to continue to live on their own and remain self-sufficient.

The Mobile Meals office is located at Union Hospital, 659 Boulevard, Dover, Ohio.
