More Than Just Meals
We don’t just deliver meals. Our volunteers come with warm smiles and a friendly chat too. Every meal delivered allows our volunteers to check in on the health and wellbeing of our clients. This is so important because we may be the only person they see that day.
- Regular wellbeing checks
- Important social connections
- Links to the local community
- A smile and a friendly face

We are considered an essential service with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"For me, volunteering at Meals on Wheels is great fun. I have met many great staff, other great
volunteers and great clients. Both my local geography and local history have expanded enormously.
Probably my greatest buzz is getting a laugh and/or a grateful thank-you from our clients."

“The staff at Caboolture are very friendly, especially Corinne. The chef is easy to talk to and always
ready to show you how things are done correctly. As a volunteer I was a bit reserved when I first
started but was made to feel very welcome. My experience so far as a volunteer has been all positive
and I would recommend this workplace to anyone."
