Our Origins and Values

Our founder, Mary Ann Ahlers, began by cooking meals for a few clients in an old diner. After seeing the growing need for well-balanced, easily accessible meals throughout the community, she expanded her services and our company began to grow into the organization it is today. Currently, we serve the communities of Southwestern OH, including the Greater Cincinnati and Dayton areas and the Lima region.

Combating Food Insecurity with Award-Winning Service

While the team at Ahlers Meals delivers food directly to elderly and disabled individuals, we understand that food insecurity extends beyond the humans in the home. Through Ahlers Angels, we also provide free food for dogs and cats. This means your companion animal can consistently receive the nutritious food they need to thrive, and you can enjoy greater peace of mind as a pet owner.

We’re proud to say that Ahlers Meals is the 2021 Winner of Outstanding AAA Provider Partnership of the Year from Ohio Association of Area Agencies on Aging. It’s our hope to expand in the future and help even more people in need. Check out our news updates for other insights into our organization.

Getting Started

Every customer gets to hand-pick frozen and shelf-stable meals from our menu that suit their individual needs and tastes. The items on our menu come from major, easily recognizable brands, so our clients receive the foods they already know and love. Our process begins with a meeting with our Consumer Intake Specialist. During this consultation, we’ll discuss your delivery options and meal preferences. At this time, we’ll also walk through the ordering process step by step.

Do you need low-sodium options or sugar-free desserts? Our Consumer Intake Specialists take extra care to account for special dietary requirements, ensuring each delivery meets your nutritional needs. And every order is diligently packed inside a cooler bag, so it’s still fresh by the time it reaches your door.
