Nourishing Lives, One Meal at a Time.

Every day, Meals on Wheels Ottawa delivers more than just food—we bring comfort, connection, and care to seniors and adults with disabilities.

For over 50 years, we have been dedicated to providing nutritious meals, daily check-ins, and a caring connection.

Our volunteer driven program helps support clients who wish to remain in their homes as long as possible, delaying or eliminating the need to move to a supported setting. Beyond nutrition, daily visits from Meals on Wheels volunteers provide peace of mind and reassurance to family members living further away.

Meal Program

Meals on Wheels is a community support service which delivers nutritious meals to help our clients maintain their health and independence at home. This service is offered on both a short-term and long-term basis. We offer ready-to-eat hot meals delivered to clients Monday to Saturday, as well as frozen heat-and-serve meals delivered weekly. The deliveries are done by screened and trained volunteers from the community.

Hot Meals

Hot meals are prepared by local kitchens and delivered by volunteers around lunch time from Monday through Saturday. Clients can choose how many days a week they would like to receive a meal. Meal service can be arranged for long-term or for a short-term period.

Frozen Meals

The frozen meal program can be used alongside our hot meal program, or, as a stand alone service. Frozen meals can be ordered from a menu and are delivered once a week. Meals are delivered by volunteers so there are no delivery fees.
