Meals-On-Wheels

2024

Coordinated by Laura Smith, our Meals-on-Wheels program delivered 8,256 meals in 2023 and served 10,200 in 2024. This 23.5% increase from the previous year underscores our commitment to meeting the growing needs of our community.

We also aim to expand the number of households served by 2027, strengthen our social support by reintroducing and intensifying post-pandemic regular visits, and adopt a participant-centered approach by implementing software to optimize order management and delivery logistics. This system will help us better track and respond to client preferences, offering meals tailored to their nutritional and cultural needs. We look forward to keeping you informed about these developments soon.

Food security and social isolation are critical issues for many of our seniors and others with mobility challenges. Our Meals-on-Wheels program provides a holistic solution to these concerns. Each meal is delivered alongside a personal visit, ensuring the mental and physical well-being of our vulnerable seniors.

We work closely with the Point St. Charles Community Clinic for referrals with this important program.
