CALGARY MEALS ON WHEELS

Our Vision: Our world without hunger.

Our Mission: We improve the food security and well-being of our community by preparing and delivering nutritious, quality, and affordable meals. 

Feeding our City, Strengthening our Community.

Since 1965, Calgary Meals on Wheels has specialized in preparing and delivering nutritious meals, a critical service in Calgary’s charitable food-security landscape. We believe that reliable nutrition is a crucial link to overall individual and societal health and wellness. With the rise of inflation and less accessibility to affordable, nutrient rich foods, Calgary is facing an increase in food insecurity. We are proud to be the largest Meals on Wheels in Canada with the largest non-profit commercial kitchen in Calgary. Working alongside our in-house Registered Dietitian and Red Seal Chefs, we carefully craft affordable meals that are nutritious and accommodating to special diets. These fully prepared meals are offered at a flexible sliding scale rate, meaning that even the those on the lowest of incomes are well fed. Through an engaged network of employees, volunteers, and donors we deliver approximately 5,500 nutritious and locally prepared meals each day. We make a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable community members through our three program pillars: Home Delivery, Schools, and Community. 

Hot Soup Program for Kids:

Since the year 2000 and in partnership with local school boards, Calgary Meals on Wheels delivers a nutritious hot soup lunch twice a week to elementary schools with vulnerable students at no cost to the students or the schools. Many of the children participating in the Hot Soup Program face difficult personal life situations, poor nourishment, and family stresses. The Hot Soup Program ensures children will have a nutritious lunch, giving them the energy required to concentrate and learn. As this program is 100% funded by community support, your donation through Birdies for Kids will support the maintenance and growth of this program, and enable Calgary children to learn better and reach their full potential.
