Meals on Wheels
Since 1965, our organization has been successfully helping seniors and adults who are ill or disabled to stay living independently in the community
Our oldest & largest program, Meals on Wheels, delivers over 50,000 nutritious meals every year to people in need. This program is absolutely crucial to the people we help as it ensures they have access to a basic human right — food.
But we can’t do it alone.
Mid-Toronto has a stable funding base from Ontario Ministry of Health & Long Term Care; Toronto Local Health Integration Network, United Way Toronto and City of Toronto. But we do not receive regular yearly increases to keep up with the cost of doing business and the cost of operating a large scale Meals on Wheels Program.
And most of the people we help live in poverty and are not able to afford even the nominal fees charged for the meals.
As a result of these factors, we face the major challenge of meeting the growing demand for meals. In fact, in response to the overwhelming need in our community, we’ve had to start a waiting list for our Meals on Wheels service.
The sad reality is we simply do not have the resources to help everyone who comes to us in need.
But you can help. You can make a difference to the lives of those in need.
A donation from you will provide hot, nutritious food for a senior or an adult living with a disability or illness. There is no better time than now to give what you can.
What may seem like a small gift to you can mean the difference between a hot meal or no meal at all for someone who is ill or living in poverty. No matter what, you will make a difference.
Please donate online today — you’ll be making a real difference in the lives of those who need us most. Giving online is secure, easy to do and you’ll be saving us money on mailing costs.
