The false statement is:

"Meals on Wheels is a program in which older adults meet at a community center to have a congregate meal."

While Meals on Wheels primarily focuses on delivering meals to home-bound individuals, congregate meals are typically associated with other types of meal programs, often funded under the Older Americans Act, where older adults gather at community centers to eat together.
