Nutritious & Delicious

Our meals on wheels program helps individuals who struggle to obtain and prepare nutritious meals for themselves daily. We offer worry-free meals prepared by local meal providers with the right amount of nutrients. Hot and frozen meal choices with special diet accommodation options mean there will always be delicious, healthy food available for you or your loved one.

Hot Meals

Hot meals are available for individuals who are having difficulty obtaining and/or preparing nutritious meals on a short-term or long-term basis. A hot meal is delivered directly to your home on a regularly scheduled basis. 

Each days hot meal consists of a meat or fish, vegetables, bread, soup or salad and dessert. Availability and frequency of delivery varies by community. Contact the Meals on Wheels team for schedules.
