Coffs Coast Meals on Wheels has been going strong for 50 years in 2022, keeping up with all the changes that have come our way.
‘More than just a meal’- we now recommend clients to My Aged Care where there is a lot of extra help in the home when needed.
Meals can be brought to you – hot daily or in bulk, leaving you free to get out and about throughout the week. Meals on Wheels has introduced a retail line of meals – nutritionally prepared meals at your fingertips. Convenient, fast, affordable and portion-controlled meals are great for anyone with a busy schedule but who still wants to eat a sensible, healthy diet.
Our associated Cafe – ChillNChatCafe – was a brainwave from a lady who worked in aged care as well as with younger people with disabilities. In 2004, she put both services together to start this wonderful cafe on its way to what it is today.
Coffs Coast Meals on Wheels have been in partnership with support services to fund and staff this over the years. Working with Vivo Care, we are pleased the cafe has thousands of members who visit for social outings in the lovely surroundings at the community village. We will be celebrating Seniors Week from Monday-Friday, 25th March to 3rd April where CNCC will have free Devonshire tea/coffee from 9.30 – 11.30am for people over 60.
Coffs Coast Meals on Wheels love to do special things for clients at different times of the year. We send flowers for Mother’s Day, a small gift for Father’s Day, eggs at Easter, a horse in a sweep for Melbourne Cup. The Lions Club donates Christmas cakes which are added to our bags of goodies, which are gifted to more than 100 clients every Christmas.
