Nutritious meals being prepared for delivery to older people and individuals requiring support through a Meals on Wheels service

What we do

The South and West Offaly Meals on Wheels service provides nutritious, home-delivered meals to older people, individuals living alone, and vulnerable members of the community across South and West Offaly. The service plays a vital role in supporting independent living by ensuring clients have regular access to healthy meals and ongoing contact with trusted staff and volunteers.

Beyond meal delivery, the service helps reduce loneliness and social isolation by providing regular social interaction and wellbeing checks for those who may otherwise have limited contact with others. Through this combination of practical support and social inclusion, Meals on Wheels contributes significantly to the health, dignity, and quality of life of people within the community.

“Freshly cooked each morning and delivered hot to help you remain independent in your own home.”

  • Delivery Schedule: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

  • Extended Care: Cooling meals are available for the “next day,” allowing for up to 6 days of service per week.

  • Cost: €7 per meal.
