Why support Meals on Wheels™ Queensland?
Meals on Wheels™ Queensland has been a cornerstone of our community for nearly 70 years, bringing people together and making a tangible difference in the lives of Queenslanders.
Every year, 6,500 dedicated volunteers deliver more than 2.7 million meals to over 22,000 individuals across the state.

We also provide essential social support to combat isolation, ensuring that clients receive regular social interaction and connection with their community.
Our volunteers are more than meal deliverers; they are a vital lifeline for those who may not see anyone else during the day, offering wellness checks and a caring presence that contributes to overall wellbeing.
Despite the growing demand for our services and limited government funding, Meals on Wheels™ Queensland remains committed to providing care for those who need it most. We rely on the generosity of donors, volunteers, and partners to continue offering the high-quality services that make a profound difference in people’s lives.
