Across Mississauga & Peel Region, nearly 1 in 5 households experience food insecurity, and with the number of residents needing support skyrocketing, access to meals and food delivery services for older adults is more important than ever.


Programs may include Meals on Wheels, group dining, grocery buses, and food delivery. Each of these services provide access to food and affordable, nutritious meals, sometimes with the benefit of a quick check-in or social interaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who is eligible for meals services?

    Generally, these services are available to adults (often aged 55+) who are unable to shop for groceries or prepare meals for themselves. This includes individuals with disabilities, those recovering from surgery or illness, or seniors who simply find cooking difficult. You do not need a medical referral to apply.

  • How much do meals cost?

    Most not-for-profit agencies keep the cost very affordable, sometimes via suggested donations or subsidized by funding. Exact fees will vary by provider and the meal type (hot vs frozen) and frequency. (Meals on Wheels Ontario)

  • Why are food programs important?

    Beyond providing nutritious food, these programs help seniors maintain their independence at home. They also offer a vital safety check; volunteers delivering hot meals provide a friendly visit and ensure the client is safe and well, offering peace of mind to family members.

  • Can special diets be accommodated?

    Yes. Most programs can accommodate common dietary needs, including diabetic-friendly, low-sodium, gluten-free, vegetarian, halal, and kosher options. Texture-modified meals (such as minced or pureed) are also available for those with swallowing difficulties.
