St Andrew's Meals on Wheels provides an important service to many elderly and disabled clients and carers residing in the Townsville district. Many new referrals result from clients who have been discharged from hospital, or self-referrals from people in the community who are no longer able to prepare meals. The service enables many elderly members of our community to remain in their own homes, thus enhancing their independence and quality of life. In some instances, access to the service may only be a temporary measure, offering assistance until they have recuperated. The service was inaugurated in 1964 by the Reverend Ken and Mrs. Sheila Stevens, with the support of the congregation of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. It began by serving five clients for three days a week at a charge of two shillings (20¢) for each meal. The meals were cooked and delivered by members of the congregation. The service has grown since these early days and we now prepare and deliver over 5,000 meals each month.
