Since 1965, Calgary Meals on Wheels has specialized in preparing and delivering nutritious meals, a critical service in Calgary’s charitable food-security landscape. We believe that reliable nutrition is a crucial link to overall individual and societal health and wellness. With the rise of inflation and less accessibility to affordable, nutrient rich foods, Calgary is facing an increase in food insecurity. This complex problem impacts the social well-being, academic and economic potential, and overall health of our community. We are proud to be the largest Meals on Wheels in Canada with the largest non-profit commercial kitchen in Calgary. Working alongside our in-house Registered Dietitian and Red Seal Chefs, we carefully craft affordable meals that are nutritious and accommodating to special diets. These fully prepared meals are offered at a flexible sliding scale rate, meaning that even the those on the lowest of incomes are well fed. Through an engaged network of employees, volunteers, and donors we execute our mission of improving the food security and well-being of our community by preparing and delivering nutritious, quality, and affordable meals. Through this network we deliver approximately 5,500 nutritious and locally prepared meals each day, and have an annual impact of over 1 million meals served to nearly 10,000 people. We make a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable community members through our three program pillars: Home Delivery, Schools , and Community programs.

We offer several different meal options for our clients:

1. Our Chef’s Daily Special   - Freshly chilled meals delivered on a set 3, 5 or 7 days schedule.
2. My Choice Menu  - Fresh frozen meals ordered as needed and delivered with flexibility.
3. Agency Meals - Hot or frozen family-sized meals provided to agencies that lack the capacity or equipment to produce their own meals.
4. Hot Soup Program - Free lunches delivered twice weekly to 14 schools around the city.
