Calgary Meals on Wheels - About Calgary Meals on Wheels |
 | | Calgary Meals on Wheels is a non-profit charitable organization which promotes health and supports independence by preparing and delivering nutritious affordable meals to Calgarians in need of our service – seniors, convalescents (short and long term) and people with disabilities. |
 | | This organization also provides specially prepared meals for the Chinese community, bagged lunches for the working homeless and a ‘Duck Soup’ program for children in high risk elementary schools, in addition to other means of supporting our community. |
 | | In response to a plea from the Hospital Chaplaincy Committee of the Calgary Presbytery of the United Church in 1965, a study was undertaken by the Presbyterian United Church Women into the needs of the elderly living alone and those being discharged from hospitals with no help available during their convalescence. |
