Benefits:

In addition to nutritional affordable meals, Langley Meals on Wheels delivers:

• Regular, friendly social contact and interaction for seniors, disabled and other people who live alone
• Safety and Security. Our clients know that a friendly volunteer will check on their well being on delivery days and we will respond quickly if an emergency arises
• Independent Living. We give seniors and disabled people the ability to retain independence in the comfort of their own homes and in their own communities.
• Short Term Assistance. If life has changed due to surgery or a chronic illness we step in and provide comfort and on-going assistance.

What does it Cost?

Langley Meals on Wheels Society has been able to keep the cost of our meals low thanks to the help of our volunteers and our Private and Corporate Donors. Each nutritional meal includes soup an entrée, with potatoes, rice or pasta, vegetables and desert. The cost is currently only $5.50 per meal.

We strive to make the cost of our meals reasonable and affordable. Prices are subject to change due to the cost of the food. Advance notification of any meal price increase will be given.

Preparation & Delivery:

Our nutritional meals are specially planned and prepared by the dietary and kitchen staff of the Gateway Of Hope and Jackman Manor in Aldergrove. Meals are picked up and delivered by dedicated volunteers who are eager to help provide this service.

Special diets are available, but individual likes and dislikes cannot always be accommodated. All meals are delivered hot in special equipment designed for Meals on Wheels. The meals are served in plastic, dishwasher-safe containers.
Meals should be eaten on arrival. If the food is to be eaten later in the day, please refrigerate the meal immediately. Do NOT cool the meal on the counter before putting it in the refrigerator.

Meals are delivered between the hours of 11:00am and 1:00pm weekdays. Please be sure to notify the office if you will not be home at the delivery time so other arrangements can be made for leaving your meal.
