Established in 1969, the organization aims to support clients in maintaining independence while living at home through nutritional assistance and wellness-focused transportation.

Mission and Vision

The organization’s mission is to "nourish community wellness, one person at a time," with a vision of creating "a community in which every person has a pathway to wellness and independence." Its services are designed to address both short-term needs (e.g., post-hospitalization recovery, caregiver relief) and long-term support.

Services

Meal Delivery
Meals on Wheels London provides daily fresh and frozen meal deliveries, prioritizing nutritional requirements for diverse dietary needs. Since its founding, it has delivered over 2 million meals.

Wheels for Wellness
This program offers door-to-door transportation for clients attending medical appointments, therapies, and other wellness-related activities across London.

The Village Table
A social enterprise launched as part of a rebranding effort, The Village Table operates from the Food Incubator at 630 Dundas Street. It collaborates with local partners to host intergenerational cooking classes, a breakfast program, and community meal delivery services.

Rebranding and Community Engagement

In 2023, the organization adopted a new visual identity, including the tagline "Together We Can Deliver!" and distinct logos for each program to better reflect its expanded services. Annual initiatives like the "Marching for Meals" walkathon aim to raise funds equivalent to 12,000 meals each April.

Operations

Meals on Wheels London operates under an agreement with Ontario Health as a Home and Community Care provider. It emphasizes community partnerships and volunteer-driven delivery systems to maintain affordability and accessibility.
