A YEAR IN REVIEW
Since 1976, Oakville Meals on Wheels (OMoW) has been providing Oakville
residents with nutritious hot lunches and frozen entrees. From Monday to
Friday, our volunteers deliver personal meal service along with a wellness check
to ensure clients are healthy, safe and thriving while continuing to live
independently.
Our fiscal year 2020-21 saw new challenges for OMoW as we navigated - and
continue to navigate - through the COVID-19 pandemic. An increase in demand
(especially for subsidized meals), volunteer turnover and increased safety
protocols dominated our focus this year. Despite these challenges, OMoW did
not miss delivery of a single meal during the pandemic.
In October 2020, OMoW saw a major milestone with delivery of our one
millionth meal. This milestone could not have been achieved without the
dedication of our amazing volunteers. Our volunteers come from all walks of life,
show up 5 days a week for approximately two hours per shift to fulfill up to 10
routes per day, 52 weeks of the year.
OMoW is community funded and must raise Board of Directors 2020-2021
100% of its operating budget. We work with
wonderful funders and sponsors, and have • Jan Narduzzi, Board Chair
numerous fundraising initiatives throughout the • Kellie Gray, Vice Chair
• Frank Linhart, CPA CMA, Treasurer
year that are generously supported by the • Yolaine Boileau-Matteau, Secretary
community at large. We are grateful for the • Farid Siddiqui

physical distancing measures, and in the future allow for
meetings and other events to be held on site once it is safe to
do so.
