Meals on Wheels provides a range of frozen and fresh meals delivered to your door. Our service is More than a Meal, this is because our friendly volunteers drivers check in when they deliver your meals, they stop and say 'hi' and check how you're doing. If there are any problems they notify Red Cross staff who follow up with your identified contact.
You can have your meals delivered as many or few times each week as you like, we do recommend at least twice a week though to increase your contact with our volunteers.
Clients can receive the fresh meal service up to 5 days a week, with an extra meal on Thursday and Friday to cover you for the weekend.
Our meals are sourced through 3 different suppliers, offering you the best variety and pricing range we can find. Meal options range from soups and salads, to breakfasts and hearty main meals. We also have some vegetarian and gluten free options, with some menus catering for people with allergies.
Meals can also come prepared for you, including cut, blended or pureed, to help you enjoy your meal.
Clients and volunteers also hold social groups to share new connections with others in Red Cross programs.
Fees for Meals On Wheels apply, and we can arrange payment through direct debit, cheque or credit card.
