Schools

Hot Soup Program

Since 2000, in partnership with the Calgary Board of Education, 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. 

Student Nutrition Program

Established in 2014, the Student Nutrition Program was put into place for schools that have been identified with a high population of nutritionally vulnerable students without the resources or facility to produce meals. Funded by the Government of Alberta via the school districts, this program allows schools to purchase 100+ items from our menu to have on site for students as needed. Full bellies reduce students’ stress and anxiety and improves focus of learning, health and well-being.

Community

Regional Program

Established in 2013, our Regional Program is ideal for rural or small towns orbiting the greater Calgary area who do not have their own Meals on Wheels, or want to supplement the meals that are currently available locally. Currently, we are partnered with FCSS in Cochrane, Strathmore, Wheatland County, as well as Longview Seniors and the Chestermere Food Bank.

Agency Program

Ideal for organizations without resources or the facilities to produce meals for their clients but wish to incorporate meals into their programs, our agency program empowers agencies to focus on their core services. This program was established in 1996 and we are currently working with 6 Alpha House locations.
