Nutritious, great tasting, convenient and affordable meals are provided to you in your home at a low cost.
We currently provide more than 1,000
meals a week to older people and people with disabilities and their carers
through our Delivered Meals service (Meals on Wheels).
The service provides eligible residents with fresh and tasty
meals at a low cost while also providing a source of community connection.
We know that this service is about much more than just food delivery and we never want that to change. The meals are delivered by local drivers employed through our trusted meals partners.
Each driver will have a chat, get to know each client, and look out for their wellbeing.
