PROGRAMS & SERVICES

Anyone who has difficulty preparing a nutritionally balanced meal should contact the office for information.  This may include the elderly, the disabled, homebound people, convalescents or those recently discharged from hospital.

Meals on Wheels is available for short or long-term clients.

Good nutritious meals are a very important part of health and well-being for elderly persons living independently in the community.  Because dietary intake is often reduced due to health problems and decreased activity, it is even more important that meals provide the necessary nutrition for good health.  Just as important, the meal is delivered by a cheerful and carefully selected volunteer, who is also able to report any health or security concerns that require follow-up.

Hot Meals are nutritionally balanced and are prepared under the supervision of a dietitian. They include soup, an entrée of meat, fish or poultry and potatoes, noodles or rice OR an alternate, two vegetables and a dessert.  Special and therapeutic diets are handled individually.  Meals are delivered throughout the week, generally between 11:00 and 12:30 pm.  Clients may order any number of days but the schedule must be for a minimum of 2 days and the same days each week.

Frozen Meals is a 5-week rotating menu. Clients can choose from a menu of nutritionally balanced meals to get the foods they prefer. Soup and/or dessert is also available. There is a minimum order of 2 entrees.
