Meals Together
Good food is better with good company.
Regular deliveries are great for a quick chat, but the Meals Together program goes a step further. It builds social connections for people who might otherwise be socially isolated.
Different events and services have been designed to support people in different circumstances, from visits at home to group outings. And transport is available for those who need it.
Need help heating meals?
Hot Wheels volunteers are available to drop in around lunchtime and heat your meal for you. This service is intended for people who have difficulty using a microwave, and for people who might need a reminder that it’s time to eat.
Need some company?
Our Meals Together program provides a range of meals and activities to encourage people to get together, make friends, share interests and have fun. We provide transport when needed and have volunteers on hand to help with mobility or other challenges. Our events range from lunches and morning teas, to concerts, movies, visits to local attractions, craft activities and so on, and we are always expanding what is on offer. These groups will change to suit the flavour of your local area, so check in with your local service to find out when and where the next Meals Together days out will be.
Meet and Eat is for those who find it difficult to get out and about; we offer a once-a-month Meet and Eat service at your home. A local volunteer will bring lunch to share while enjoying an activity together. This could include crafts like painting and card making or small projects like scanning photos and using technology.
