Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone at Meals on Wheels for all of the support, thoughtfulness and many kindnesses. I will never forget you.

Even on my best days, preparing meals is very difficult and shopping for groceries is out of the question. I always look forward to a visit from Meals on Wheels. The hot lunches are delicious and better than what many restaurants serve.

I cannot say enough about Meals on Wheels. They were there for me during a long recovery from my illness. I had no appetite at all until I tasted their delicious meals. I am definitely a fan and would recommend them to anyone.

S.R., Thorold Resident
I was pleasantly surprised to find the meals delicious and nourishing. The cost was nominal and the people from Meals on Wheels were exceedingly kind. Many thanks from a grateful client.

W.B., Niagara Falls Resident
I was never a good cook, even when I had my health, so to have Meals on Wheels delivering nourishing and tasty meals to my door is especially appreciated!

Dear Meals on Wheels,

My aunt recently moved from her apartment to Gilmore Lodge. Prior to this transfer, my aunt was receiving meals on wheels.

I want to let you know that my aunt often commented to me that the meals were very good. As well, she told me that the people who delivered the meals were exceptionally friendly and helpful. She truly looked forward to her meals and the wonderful people who delivered them.

My aunt also mentioned that in moving to Gilmore Lodge, she is still receiving the great food that she enjoyed through meals on wheels. As you know, moving to a nursing home is a big change. I think the fact that my aunt continues to receive the same food that she was receiving at home goes a long way to easing this transition.

Please extend my thanks to everyone involved in providing such an important service to my aunt and all the many other seniors that you assist in making it possible to live independently in their homes for as long as possible.
During my convalescence, the caring people from Meals on Wheels were always there with a kind word, a smiling face and a welcome hot meal.

A.K., Fort Erie Resident
