Programs and Partnerships

 

Hot Soup Program

Imagine what it would be like to be a young child arriving at school with no lunch, probably having had no breakfast. How do you focus on learning when you are hungry?

Unfortunately, this is a reality is becoming more prevalent in our community as more and more Calgary children are unable to bring a lunch to school. Since 2000, in partnership with the Calgary Board of Education, Calgary Meals on Wheels has been working to change this reality. Twice a week Calgary Meals on Wheels delivers a nutritious hot soup lunch 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, we are continually seeking funding to support the maintenance and growth of this program and to enable these children to better learn and reach their full potential. 

Going Home Program

For patients aged 55+ and going home from the hospital can be stressful and present challenges, especially when still recovering, experiencing mobility issues or worried about how they will shop for groceries and prepare healthy meals.. Nutritious home-delivered meals help ease the transition back to independent living, support healthier outcomes and provide valuable social connection and community support.  

Eligible patients are identified by registered dietitians, medical staff or social workers for referral to the program. Recipients receive short-term, complimentary meal support after hospital discharge. Accommodations can be made for some special diets and texture modifications, but please note that we may not be able to accommodate all dietary restrictions or allergens. 

As a 100% community-funded program, we are deeply grateful for the generous support of our donors and partners who make this program possible."
