Community members receive fresh fruits, vegetables, and other essential grocery items delivered to their doors.
Over the past several days, the effects of COVID-19 have been felt throughout our community. Our team at the Better Bite Community Kitchen have been working diligently to implement a complete overhaul of our program – new policies, procedures, and safety measures to make sure everyone we work with and serve stays safe and healthy.
Since opening in March 2017, Better Bite Community Kitchen has been committed to creating a space around food and nutrition and building a community that fosters a culture of healthy food consumption and education.
Several students from Cape Breton University shared their culture with Meals On Wheels clients during a 'September Takeover' initiative.
The Good Food Bus is en route to several communities throughout the CBRM. Organizers and community host teams are gearing up for what they are hoping will be a fun and successful pilot project that is expected to launch September 6 at the New Dawn Centre.
New Dawn has donated its experimental cold-climate greenhouse to Cape Breton University's Verschuren Centre for Sustainability in Energy and the Environment.
After more than 30 years of providing meals in partnership with dedicated, local food vendors, New Dawn Meals On Wheels has recently decided to take on the task of production.
