The first meals were delivered on September 7, 1970 and Mrs Ann Dawes is still delivering meals since the inception.

“Kiama Meals on Wheels recognises the important role that food plays in everyone’s lives,” manager Joanne North said. “We want your meal to be wholesome, tasty and nurturing for your body, and that’s what our service aims to deliver.

“What makes our organisation special is the dedicated volunteers who deliver the meals, have a chat and do a welfare check at the same time.

“Volunteers are often the connector to the community for our customers who share stories and experiences along the way.”

The meals are prepared to meet the national meal guidelines that are specifically designed to meet the nutrient needs of people over the age of 65. Their key point of difference is the Nutrition and Wellness program for ongoing independence with a holistic approach to nutrition, community engagement and lifestyle choices as we age.
