Meals on Wheels Port Elizabeth

The Meals on Wheels Community Services Project was founded in 1964 by Doctor Denis Baird. In light of the serious need amongst the aging community in South Africa, Dr. Baird launched a fund-raising project aimed at financing the first-ever Meals on Wheels delivery vehicle. He then gathered a few caring ladies, arranged to use a local church kitchen during weekdays, and the rest is history.

Meals on Wheels Port Elizabeth feeds the impoverished and the disadvantaged elderly providing them with a daily meal when budgetary constraints allow. We also feed the homeless in the Greenbushes area as well as children and orphans in the Theescombe informal settlements.

There is always an urgent and ongoing need for food, from chicken and minced meat to fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as any non-perishable items.
