Meals on Wheels
Meals on Wheels program provides meals to seniors living in the community on Salt Spring Island. The philosophy behind Meals on Wheels is based on the belief that independence and quality of life can best be maximized where individuals remain in their homes with support for as long as possible. Meals on Wheels can provide safe, nutritious meals on a regular daily basis. It promotes regular contact between isolated individuals and enhances community involvement through volunteer participation.
The Meals on Wheels programme is most beneficial to people who are unable to prepare their own meals due to age, infirmity,or illness. Meals on Wheels ensures that theses people receive nutritious hot meals and also promotes social contact with the volunteer delivering the meal.
