Meals on Wheels - Island Health Area

Disability Services, Food, and Seniors Services

Provided by Meals on Wheels

Provides the opportunity for individuals to live independently with self reliance in their own homes by delivering well-balanced meals and regular human contact.
A voluntary service consisting of the delivery of reasonably priced hot meals to those whose physical, emotional, mental or social condition handicaps their ability to obtain or prepare adequate meals for themselves.

The Community Meal Delivery / Meals on Wheels program offers the delivery of hot, nutritious meals to seniors, many of whom live alone and are at risk of isolation, and to others in need who are unable to prepare meals on their own. Volunteers deliver meals to seniors and provide social connection and safety checks for seniors.

Eligibility: Seniors or individuals who, due to health or disability, are unable to prepare meals.
