NL Health Services has some decisions to make about expanding Meals on Wheels. Over the summer, the organization sought feedback on where to offer the service, what costs individuals can afford, and when to deliver meals to clients.
The main survey on this page closed June 14, 2025. A second survey clarifying some points in the first survey opened July 30 and is now closed.
The What We Heard report was released November 24, 2025. The team will now decide where, when, and how we can expand Meals on Wheels.
Meals on Wheels is a community outreach service that provides low-cost, nutritious meals to eligible seniors and adults with disabilities. In 2025, NL Health Services plans to expand the program in our Eastern-Urban and Eastern-Rural zones. Meals on Wheels is currently available in St. John’s, Carbonear, Grand Bank, Bonavista and Placentia.
Based on the engagement in 2025, there is strong support for expansion in the following communities:
- Paradise
- Conception Bay South
- Torbay
- Portugal Cove
- St. Phillips
- Clarenville
- Burin
- Marystown
- Grand Bank
- St. Lawrence
