Community Outreach

Meals On Wheels

This program delivers nourishing meals delivered  by volunteers to the homes of persons living in West Perth who:

  • are not able to care for their own nutritional requirements;
  • have no other person to prepare their meals;
  • who have special needs identified by local health care professionals.

Meals are delivered Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 11:45 am and 12:30 pm.  Deliveries can be arranged for one, two or three days per week, or multiple meals per day.  Special dietary needs can be accommodated.  Cancellation or extra meals can be arranged by telephone with at least two hours notice required.

Frozen meals are also available by request.


In 1987, the organization formalized an agreement with the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to co-ordinate programs to meet the needs of seniors, the disabled and those recuperating from illness, injury or accident, who are living independently in the community.  These programs operate under the umbrella of Mitchell & Area Community Outreach.
