Deliver more than a meal
Our volunteers are the heart of the service. Most give one morning every four weeks — delivering meals, sharing a chat, and keeping an eye on their neighbours.
It is my pleasure to add my thanks and praise to the staff at Ballina Shire Meals on Wheels. They have been so cooperative, pleasant and tolerant of all my requests and needs. Nothing has been too difficult for them.
One of the best things I have ever invested in. The staff are lovely, the food is nutritious, and all the volunteers are lovely people.
Independence, delivered since 1967
We're a not-for-profit run by locals, for locals. For nearly sixty years our volunteers have helped seniors, people with disability and their carers stay living well at home — with a nutritious meal and a friendly check-in.
Across Ballina Shire and surrounds
