Meal delivery programs prepare and deliver nutritious meals to older adults and people with disabilities who are unable to make the food for themselves or travel to a meal site.

Meals on Wheels is offered through partnership with Allina Health-Regina Hospital in Hastings.

Meals are prepared at the Regina Hospital and volunteers deliver meals to the homes of anyone who is unable to prepare their own meal including those who need temporary help through an illness or injury.
