We are a Volunteer run and led Community Service whose primary purpose is to provide healthy nutritious meals to the elderly

Arklow Meals on Wheels was set up in 2001 after a need was identified showing people were alone and unable to cater for themselves. We are a Volunteer run and led Community Service whose primary purpose is to provide healthy nutritious meals to the elderly, infirm, convalescing and people in need in the Arklow area. A lot of people live alone, are vulnerable and suffer isolation due to being housebound. We aim to help maintain and improve the health of these people by providing the delivery of s nutritious dinner and dessert to their homes, a service that for many also acts as a lifeline, as it doubles up as a regular check in for them. Arklow Meals on Wheels work very closely with the local Home Help Service, Health Centre,PHN's , and hospitals. We also keep in close contact with the local Community Guards who will respond immediately if we feel any of the service users may need assistance. Our volunteer drivers and helpers, almost 40 in total, and our kitchen teams, over 20 in total turn up in wind, rain, sunshine year round to enable the service to run smoothly. We currently operate our service from the Pipeband Hall in Castlepark.

Huge gratitude to Gerry O Reilly who called down to the Meals on Wheels kitchen last week to present us with a wonderful donation of €200..Gerry works in Servier and he nominated our service to be the recipient of this donation on behalf of his late father Christy who passed away a short time ago, Christy was a faithful volunteer delivering meals for many years, always showed up on time and obliged us by standing in whenever someone was not available. The family of Christy on his passing also nominated Arklow Meals on Wheels for donations in lieu of flowers and Niamh Sweeney dropped a cheque to us on behalf of the family for €500. Both donations recieved with much gratitude from us to the O'Reilly family. We give thanks for your kindness to us and may Christy rest in peace now he has gone to his eternal home.

Arklow Credit Union what can we say that shows how grateful we are to you all and your wonderful customers. Second year we are delighted to have been chosen as the recipients of the Arklow Credit Unions community project for Christmas. Many many thanks to everyone who supported this appeal, to the staff for the hard work setting it all up and checking on it, these things don't manage themselves. We had some very happy people who recieved bags of food along with the Christmas Dinner, and all thanks to our wonderful Community . Look out for the elderly, unwell and housebound during these cold days of Winter when sometimes the sadness can set in for many after the madness of Christmas. " We need to be looking out for each other, not at each other " 🥰

Christmas Dinner 2025, our heartfelt thanks to Ferrybank Butchers Chris, Ken, Vivienne and team ,for the more than generous donation once again this year of turkeys and hams to the Annual Christmas Dinner for Arklow Meals on Wheels, also delivered to those referred to us from Alone and Social Workers, as so many we don't realise are home alone for the Christmas period, the dinner was cooked and delivered by volunteers and recieved with much happiness and gratitude by all. It's the kind deeds like these that are done so willingly year in, year out that show the true meaning of Community and its goodness. It's about doing things together that makes belonging matter. Christmas Dinner and Dessert looked top class, as always, all cooked, served and delivered by our amazing team of Volunteers 🥰

Our gratitude once again this year to Arklow Credit Union for what's become the Annual instore Food Appeal for Arklow Meals on Wheels , where all year our wonderful team of volunteers cook and deliver delicious and nutritious meals to the sick, elderly, housebound and those convalesing. At Christmastime we are aware of the many extra struggles placed on people to keep warm etc so we aim to help them out with a bag or two of non perishsble food items. We also work alongside Alone this time of year too to ensure those living alone and or feeling isolated and overwhelmed are made feel as much love as possible. The food appeal takes place in the local branch and huge thanks to Shell Bell for the co-ordination of this, leaving no stone unturned. Its people like yourselves that help us help others as much as possible, no matter how small you think your donation is, just remember it makes a huge difference. Thank you 🥰
