About Meals on Wheels London

Meals on Wheels London is a community organization located in the Woodfield neighbourhood on Queens Ave. It serves as a provider of affordable meal and transportation services for seniors and adults with disabilities throughout London. The organization operates as a Home and Community Care provider through an agreement with Ontario Health, with a primary goal of building independence for its clients. The organization offers a variety of nutritional programs, including fresh and frozen meal deliveries. The fresh meal service follows a rotating five-week calendar and includes breakfast add-ons, while the frozen meal service features a menu of over 50 options, including entrees, desserts, and soups. For those who prefer to collect their own food, a Cash and Carry program allows for the pickup of packages containing seven of their most popular frozen meals. Additionally, the business provides "Friendly Visiting" and a "Wheels for Wellness" program, which offers curb-to-curb round-trip transportation to wellness appointments across the city. Established in 1969, Meals on Wheels London describes its mission as nourishing community wellness one person at a time. The organization is a member of Meals on Wheels of America, which allows it to network with other organizations across North America for resources and grant opportunities. They are also recognized by Community Votes London for various categories, including transportation, deliveries, and home health care. The organization hosts a spring fundraiser called Marching for Meals to help end senior hunger in the community.
