Cobourg District Community Care – Meals on Wheels

Hot Meal Information

Our hot meals are prepared for lunch by dietary staff at the Golden Plough Lodge each Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  You many have meals delivered on any or all of these days.  The cost for a meal is $4.50 and includes 6 oz soup and crackers, roll and butter, 3 oz meat, 4 oz Vegetable x 2, 4 oz Starch (potato) and 4 oz dessert.  The menu follows a four-week rotation. We cater to special diets and tastes.

Volunteers pick up the meals between 11:15 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. and deliver it to your home.  There is no charge for delivery.  Our volunteers provide you with a regular contact and will check on your health and safety.

At the end of every month you will be sent an invoice for any meals that were delivered to you during the month.  Payment is made to the Cobourg District Community Care.

   

 

Some important information:

  1. If you have any changes or cancellations to your meal, you may call up to 9:30a.m on the day of delivery to notify use, and you will not be charged for the meal.
  2. Our volunteers will not leave the meal if you are not home to received it.
  3. If our volunteers cannot get an answer at your door, we will call your emergency contact for instructions.

  5. If you have a change or cancellation, please feel free to leave a message on our voice mail if we are not in the office.  We will consider that your notification.
  6. Please remember that your meal may not always be delivered at the same time each day or week as we have many different volunteers who help us with delivery.  Be patient, however, if you have not received your meal by 12:15 give our office a call and we will check to make sure the meals were picked up in the kitchen.
  7. If you find your meal in any way distasteful, please call us as soon as possible.  Without your input we have no way of knowing if that what you are receiving is acceptable to you.
