Hot Meal Replacement (HMR)
About the Program
Hot Meal Replacements are nutritious frozen meals that are flash-frozen, without any extra preservatives added. These meals are arranged to be ordered every two (2) weeks.
Meals include entrée, soup, and a dessert. As well these meals are suitable for diabetics, and those requiring low-salt or low-fat diets. The HMR’s are also appropriate for those individuals who require pureed meals.
Fees
* All fees include taxes and delivery (if applicable). Additional financial subsidy is available to those eligible. Prices are subject to change.
Meals Include
- Main Entrée: Meat, Fish or Poultry, Starch (Potato, Pasta, or Rice) & Vegetables
- Homemade Soup
- Dessert
TIP: For statutory holidays when hot meals cannot be delivered this meal could come in handy, just heat it up and enjoy!
Note: Special dietary needs may be addressed on a one to one basis (i.e. Cut meat or modified texture.) Meals for Moms participants can choose from either HMP or HMR programs. Meals can be prepared for parents including their young children.

“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!”
