Our first meals were delivered on April 21, 1969. Since then, we have been providing home-delivered meals and related food services to promote health, well-being and independence for a diverse mix of clients. \n\nAs a local non-profit and registered charitable organization, we work hard with our sponsors, volunteers and the community to find effective ways to serve those who need our help. Since 1988, we have had our own commercial food production and distribution centre. Our Red Seal Executive Chef makes sure our meals are healthy and tasty. By continually monitoring our clients’ preferences and needs, we respond with changes to our menus and programs.\n\nFor more information about the Meals On Wheels Edmonton Programs, visit: https://mealsonwheelsedmonton.org/"}
