“Edmonton Meals on Wheels has been a blessing in my house.

I spent nearly a year in rehabilitation for a broken pelvis.

When it was time to go home, I was still in no shape to cook.

That’s when I found out about Edmonton Meals on Wheels, and I haven’t had to worry about cooking or eating well ever since.

A volunteer delivers my meal every day and they’re always friendly. They’re very helpful, each and every one of them. It’s nice to have people come that I can talk to, even if it’s only for a short time.

My son helps me with many things, but he’s also busy with work. Having my meals delivered daily, he doesn’t worry now if I’m eating properly or eating at all.

Edmonton Meals on Wheels makes things simple. I haven’t been to a grocery store in two years because it’s hard for me to get out of the house. I’ve heard that prices are
atrocious now.

So, having this service is really a benefit, both financial and medical.
I wouldn’t want to go back to cooking for myself, even if I could.

It would be impossible to stay in my home without this service.

Being on my own, I’d never prepare the kinds of meals that I receive. There’s such a variety. It’s all the things we’re supposed to eat. And even though I really don’t like vegetables, I try to eat them for my own health!

I also feel very fortunate that you care about the health of people like me, who you don’t even know!

Your donations help keep this service going, and I’m one of many who benefit from your kindness day after day.

On behalf of everyone like me who looks forward to healthy meals and friendly faces from Edmonton Meals on Wheels every day, thank you for your continued and generous support.”
