Meals on Wheels is known for delivering fresh, hot meals to vulnerable seniors, but the P.E.I. arm of the organization is now ramping up delivery of frozen dinners to better help people living in rural areas of the province.
To make it happen, the non-profit organization is looking for partner organizations to come on board as food suppliers, said Meals on Wheels’ provincial co-ordinator Haley Zavo.
“It’s no secret that food insecurity and isolation are major issues in our communities. I think that those needs are becoming more and more evident, and community members are jumping into action to address those needs,” Zavo told CBC News.
Meals on Wheels P.E.I. has been delivering food to people in need since 2022, with 12 locations operating across the Island.
