About Us
Edmonton Meals on Wheels is a local non-profit and registered charitable organization that provides home-delivered meal and food services to a diverse mix of people. We’re well known for our quality customer service, excellent meals and creative & innovative strategies that engage the community in various events, partnerships and volunteer opportunities. There is always something that you will be interested in; whether purchasing meals, volunteering or attending our events.
The first hot meals were delivered April 21, 1969. We have a long and experienced history in Edmonton and are continually expanding and evolving to better meet the changing needs and demographics of the city. Since 1988 we have had our own food production and distribution center, hired Red Seal cooks and by continually monitoring our client’s preferences and needs we respond with changes to our menus and programs to better serve our community.

FEEDING BODY AND SOUL®
The service that Edmonton Meals on Wheels provides is farther reaching than just food. We’ve been told that the volunteers’ daily visits are equally as important as the food. In fact, food is our means of breaking social isolation, nourishing our community and building trusting relationships. Building friendships, sharing a story and doing the “little extras” when asked are considered by many to be just as important as the delivery of great food. That’s how we feed both body and soul.
