Client Stories
“I started on the service a year ago. At first, I only received meals occasionally to try it out; however, I enjoyed the meals so much that I now get them more often. I love Meals on Wheels because the meals I am given are nutritious and don’t contain all the extra ingredients that store bought frozen dinners have. My personal favourite are the meals that have chicken because the meat is juicy, and the veggies are cooked well. I usually have enough for both my lunch and dinner too, which is really nice because I don’t have to worry about cooking as often. I also love how helpful the staff and volunteers are because they will tailor the service to your needs. I recommend Meals on Wheels to anyone in need!”

“Meals on Wheels has helped me so much because I have arthritis and cannot stand in front of the stove for long periods of time. For that reason, I cannot cook for myself. Also, I use a walker to get around my apartment which makes it hard for me to get groceries and go out to get food. So, having this service has helped me so much for getting quality food into my home. I am very satisfied with the quality of food, and it tastes so good. It makes me eat more nutritious meals that I wouldn’t be able to have if it weren’t for Meals on Wheels.”

“Meals on Wheels has been great for me while my husband has been in hospital recovering from an accident. I was constantly going to the hospital to see him and found cooking food to be difficult. So, when a nurse told me about the service I tried it out, and I love it. I chose the frozen meal options because I can choose what I want to eat and when I want to eat it. Some of my favourite meals are the beef lasagna, cabbage rolls, pot roast, and the meat loaf. They are very delicious and super easy to reheat. The soups and desserts are also great additions to the meal for a little treat. I have no complaints whatsoever; I really appreciate the quality service.”

“I joined Meals on Wheels because my friend recommended it to my brother for me. The service is very helpful because I don’t have to worry about cooking as often and I know that I will always have something delicious to eat. I love the fish dishes and all the desserts, they’re very good! I have also tried the frozen meals which are good for the weekends and on holidays when Meals on Wheels is closed. I enjoy going on routes every Wednesday with my friend to deliver meals to the community. It’s very nice to see how Meals on Wheels helps the people of my community. It also gives me exercise and allows me to get out of the house. If you are able to volunteer, I would highly recommend it!”

“My mother Sheila is loving Meals on Wheels (Sudbury) meals. We are so beyond happy with the services Meals on Wheels providing. I wasn’t aware of this service before, but I am so thankful that Meals on Wheels is available to our community. Sheila had lost 25lbs as of late and she desperately needed to put weight on and with a few of your meals she is already putting some weight. Sheila is eating everything and loves it, so much so that moving forward she will get 5 meals a week.”
