"Providers of Care with Compassion & Concern"

The Meals-on-Wheels program provides nourishing meals at a reasonable cost in order to help people remain in, or return to, their own homes, thus maintaining their independence in the community.

Meals-on-Wheels is set-up for individuals who are unable to prepare adequate and nourishing meals on a day-to-day basis and who have nobody else in the household to do this.

The meals are delivered by a group of enthusiastic volunteers every week day between 3:45p.m. and 4:45p.m (including all statutory holidays) .  No delivery on weekends.

The meals are prepared according to the individual's diet requirements (special needs as well as "reasonable" preferences). Each meal includes a soup, main plate (protein, starch, vegetables), and dessert. The meal containers are disposable and are delivered in a tray insert which is picked up daily by the Meals-on-Wheels driver when the meal is dropped off.

For more information on the Meals-on-Wheels program call 825-3273, ext. 162 between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
