About Us
Halifax Meals on Wheels is a charitable, volunteer driven organization committed to fostering independence and quality of life to residents of HRM. Our journey began in 1969 with the simple mission to provide meals to those unable to prepare food for themselves.

While providing nutritious food to those in need is an important part of our services, our dedicated team of staff and volunteers ensure that every delivery not only provides a great meal, but is also accompanied by much needed social connection, an informal wellness check and a friendly smile! Knowing that connection is made during meal delivery provides so much peace of mind to our clients, their families and their caregivers.
From 6 meals a year to almost 30,000, our on-going evolution and continuous growth has seen us provide far more to our community than just meals. We strive to create connections, foster community and to have a significant impact on the quality of life of those we serve. Our partnerships with local organizations, healthcare providers and numerous community groups ensure that our reach is broad, impactful, relevant, and provides the best service possible to meet the changing needs of our city.
If you or a family member are unable to prepare a meal for any reason, please check our “Get Meals” page here. We deliver to most areas of peninsula HRM.
