Meals on Wheels

Meals are delivered between 11:30 am – 1:00 pm, Monday – Friday (except statutory holidays).

Clearview Lodge kitchen staff prepares a hot nutritious noontime meal to be delivered to the individual’s home.

Volunteers from churches, local businesses, groups, and service clubs provide the delivery Monday through Friday (with the exception of statutory holidays).

We do have a Family Delivered option for those interested in Meals on Wheels, but do not live in the Town of Taber. Call or stop in at the Admin office for more information.

Taber and District Housing Foundation coordinates the administration and delivery volunteers.
