Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels is a volunteer-run service that delivers a fresh, nutritious meal to your home if you are unable to cook for yourself. If you are an elderly person, someone living with a disability, chronically or terminally ill, or recovering from an illness or surgery, this support can help you live independently in your own home for longer. The following diets are available:

• Regular

• Modified diabetic diet

• Minced and pureed (available by request from Doctor or Health Professional)

How it works:

• Meals: Prepared fresh daily by Glen Stor Dun Lodge, following Canada's Food Guide.

• Delivery: Brought to your door by a volunteer, Monday to Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., excluding holidays.

• Safety check: Volunteers provide a friendly daily visit and will alert staff to any concerns.

• You must be home: You need to be present to receive your meal. If you won't be home, you must cancel in advance. We cannot leave meals at the door.

Apply for hot meals

Anyone can make a referral by calling 613-933-3384 ext. 4263. After you call, we’ll complete a brief assessment.

Please have this information ready:

• Your name, address and phone number

• Your date of birth and health card number

• The main reason you need the meals

• Names, addresses, and phone numbers for two emergency contacts (one should be your Power of Attorney or the person managing your finances)

• Any special diet needs or delivery instructions

The service costs $40.00 per week. You will receive a monthly bill. You can pay by cheque, money order, or cash. You may give your payment directly to the volunteer who delivers your meal. You must cancel a meal before 9:00 a.m. on the delivery day. If you cancel after 9:00 a.m., you will still be charged for that meal.

Frozen meals

Our frozen meal program is a flexible and nutritious alternative or addition to the daily hot meal service. Each meal is prepared by Apetito/HFS with a focus on flavor and nutrition, then flash-frozen to lock in freshness. The meals come in a microwavable or oven-safe tray with full cooking instructions and ingredients listed.
