Grampians Health Edenhope Revitalises Meals on Wheels with New Menu Options


Community can now enjoy an extensive selection of hot meals

Grampians Health Edenhope, in collaboration with the West Wimmera Shire and the local community, is thrilled to announce an exciting new initiative that brings a fresh perspective to the Meals on Wheels program.


Thanks to the well thought out menu options of Chef Anna McDonald, community members now have the freedom to choose from a diverse range of tasty meals.


In the past, Meals on Wheels provided a fixed menu to community member. However, Anna McDonald, chef at Grampians Health Edenhope, recognised the opportunity to enhance the program by introducing an array of mouth-watering options. Clients can now enjoy an extensive selection of hot meals, cold meals, salads, soups, sandwiches, and an enticing variety of hot or cold desserts.


Since the implementation of this innovative approach, the response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive. Community members are delighted with the newfound flexibility and the opportunity to tailor their meals according to their preferences and dietary requirements.

"The introduction of the new menu options for Meals on Wheels has been an incredible success," said Anna McDonald.


"We wanted to ensure that the individuals we serve not only receive nourishing meals but also have the freedom to enjoy a diverse range of flavours. The positive feedback we have received has been fantastic."


The West Wimmera Shire, who coordinates the Meals on Wheels program, has been instrumental in supporting and facilitating the rollout. They have witnessed firsthand the significant impact of the new menu options on the community, witnessing a substantial increase in the number of individuals benefiting from the service.


This is a shining example of what can be achieved through collaboration and a shared commitment to enhancing the lives of community members. Grampians Health Edenhope, the West Wimmera Shire, and Chef Anna McDonald have come together to bring choice, quality, and joy to the Meals on Wheels program, ensuring that those in need receive not only nourishment but also a taste of culinary delight.
