Our Project

Our Meals to Heal pilot project is scheduled to start this summer (2024) and will see meals provided to up to 30 community members for a six-month period. 

Participants will receive 6 evening meals a week and these will be delivered once a week, throughout West Hants, by our team of community volunteers.  Meals will be prepared by the trained chefs at the Station Food Hub at Newport Station and will have dietitian oversight to ensure that they are suitable for participants’ medical conditions.

All meals will be provided free of charge, and, in return, we will be asking participants to help us understand if the meals are making a difference, by completing three surveys and participating in a follow up interview.  This will let us evaluate the program for the benefits it provides.

We will be asking for referrals from community members who have the following health conditions, which they be finding difficult to manage.
