March for Meals 2024

Join us for our 2nd Annual March for Meals!

Unison at Veiner Centre March for Meals with Meals on Wheels logo

March for Meals is a month-long initiative dedicated to supporting our Meals on Wheels (MOW) program. It's a lifeline for many seniors: those who need help due to physical disabilities and cognitive impairments, folks recovering from illnesses or surgeries, and seniors requiring special dietary planning and assistance. 

By participating in our March for Meals Campaign, you're supporting a program that addresses not only nutritional needs but also the social and emotional well-being of real people in your community. The program helps reduce social isolation, fosters a sense of community, and acts as a wellness check, ensuring that vulnerable Hatters receive the care and attention they deserve.

Access to well-balanced, affordable meals is paramount for the independence and overall well-being of Meals on Wheels' clients in Medicine Hat. Research consistently emphasizes the crucial role of healthy eating, providing essential energy, and nutrients required for healthy aging — which significantly reduces the risk of chronic diseases, especially in older adults.  

But our Meals on Wheels program also goes beyond the plate. It's a powerful tool to combat social isolation among homebound Hatters. For many, the friendly face delivering their meal might be the only human interaction they have all day. It's a wellness check, ensuring that someone is looking out for their well-being — providing not just sustenance but also a lifeline to their community.
