HALIFAX
MEALS ON WHEELS
More than food — every delivery includes a friendly check-in and meaningful human connection.
Over 50 years of helping HRM residents live safely and confidently at home.
Families and caregivers trust us to provide nutritious, reliable meals and a reassuring wellness presence.
Who we are
Halifax Meals on Wheels is a charitable, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to supporting independence and enhancing quality of life across HRM. Since 1969, we have been providing nutritious meals to individuals who are unable to prepare food for themselves.
Today, our service goes beyond meal delivery. Each visit includes a friendly check-in, meaningful social connection, and an informal wellness check — offering reassurance not only to our clients, but also to their families and caregivers.
What began as just a few meals per year has grown to nearly 30,000 annually. Through strong partnerships with local organizations and healthcare providers, we continue to adapt and expand our impact to meet the evolving needs of our community.

"We are incredibly grateful to Meals on Wheels for your on-going donations to The Rebuilding! The largest barrier tenants face in our facility is food insecurity. Your meals have allowed us to provide nutritious options to folks who do not always have access. They are always delicious and with variety. Our tenants always look forward to your meals and know who you are! Thank you so much for your continued support at The Rebuilding. These meals have made a huge difference to our tenants."
