What kind of lunch should I expect?
Meals on Wheels recipients can expect a hot, nutritious lunch-time meal. Meals are balanced and include protein, a variety of starches, vegetables, soup, and dessert.  An example would be vegetable soup, chicken supreme with whipped sweet potatoes, and green beans, a roll, and a fudge brownie for dessert.

Who determines the menu?
Menus are planned in advanced by the Team Leaders.  The main entrée always has a meat protein (a variety of meats, including chicken, fish, pork, and beef) and two side dishes, such as mash potatoes and a vegetable.

Who prepares the food?
Meals are prepared and delivered by volunteers.  Meal preparation takes place at the Sook Community Hall.  Volunteer drivers use their own vehicles to deliver the meals in containers that keep the meal hot during transport.  Cooks are required to have taken the FoodSafe training program that ensures that they are knowledgeable about food handling sanitation and worker safety, including food-borne illness, receiving and storing food, preparing food, serving food, cleaning and sanitizing.
