In addition to the delivery of hot meals, Meals on Wheels has a frozen meal delivery. Keep in touch with us through our Facebook page! NEW: Frozen meals! The main target groups for receiving Meals on Wheels are elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons who are chronically or terminally ill and persons who are convalescing. The program is offered to the residents of the City of Cornwall.

The meals are delivered by trained volunteers who provide a personal contact, a safety and security check as well as an interested daily visitor. The main purpose of the program is to help clients stay in their own homes longer and to prevent premature admission to Long Term Care facilities. Meals on Wheels is a non-profit, volunteer-based support service that delivers hot, nutritious meals to homebound citizens of Cornwall who are unable to prepare meals for themselves. Learn more about how the City of Cornwall is responding to COVID-19. We kindly ask for everyone's patience and understanding as these new measures may increase delivery wait times. Volunteers are also using gloves and/or hand sanitizer between each delivery and all delivery equipment is thoroughly sanitized upon return to the Lodge. Volunteers who have travelled are not permitted to deliver for at least 14 days after their return date. In addition, all volunteers are screened (temperature taken and questions about current health and travel status).

These changes allow us to practice social distancing as recommended by health officials while continuing to ensure that our clients get a check-in from volunteers. Stepping back 2 metres from the door, the volunteer will wait for the client to retrieve the meal. As such, volunteers will place client meals in a plastic bag to hang on the doorknob or place on a porch surface and knock/call the client as usual. We will be implementing contactless delivery measures to ensure the safety of all involved. We are receiving daily updates from the Ministry of Health and we are planning for our services to continue unless we receive direction otherwise. Meals on Wheels is continually monitoring the evolving situation related to COVID-19 and our priority remains the health and safety of our clients, volunteers and staff.
