Meals on Wheels Stirling
|
Working throughout South Australia, Meals on Wheels is a not-for-profit, community-based volunteer organisation that improves the diet and wellbeing of less able people by cooking and delivering thousands of meals each week. And we have been doing that for seventy years! We provide freshly cooked, hot, delicious, nutritious, three-course meals every weekday, plus frozen meals for weekends, public holidays or times when clients are away from home. Our clients include those who easily cannot cook or shop for themselves, including older people, people with a disability, carers and those recovering from illness or injury. Volunteer With Us And Make A Difference! Research shows that home-delivered meal programs significantly reduce food insecurity whilst improving diet quality, social connectivity, and people’s quality-of-life. And as a volunteer you will benefit by feeling part of your local supportive, cohesive and caring community. Locally Based Our Stirling Branch helps people in the Aldgate, Bridgewater, Crafers, Crafers West, Heathfield, Mylor, Piccadilly, Stirling, Summertown, Upper Sturt and Uraidla areas.
