The locally made selection of healthy, ready-to-eat meals has been created in partnership with Central Coast business Activate Foods.
The new range will officially launch on Friday, November 14, delivering on Meals on Wheels’ commitment to providing healthy and delicious meals for clients while supporting local business and showcasing the best of the Central Coast’s food community.
Mr Crouch said the partnership was a shining example of what can be achieved when local organisations work together to strengthen the community.
“Meals on Wheels Central Coast has been supporting our region for decades, and this new collaboration with Activate Foods is a great example of local innovation and community spirit,” Mr Crouch said.
“It’s fantastic to see fresh, healthy meals being made right here on the Coast, by the Coast, for the Coast. This initiative not only supports local business but also enhances the health and wellbeing of residents right across our community.”
Made locally by Activate Foods, the Fresh Menu range features a variety of nutritious dishes prepared by experienced chefs and delivered to clients across the region by Meals on Wheels Central Coast and its dedicated volunteers.
Meals on Wheels Central Coast is one of the largest Meals on Wheels organisations in NSW, with approximately 180 volunteers and over 1,000 clients.
Each month, the organisation delivers around 20,000 meals across the region, providing vital support, nutrition, and connection to older residents.
Neridah McLeod, CEO of Meals on Wheels Central Coast, said the launch represents an exciting step forward for the organisation and its clients.
“We’re absolutely delighted to be partnering with Activate Foods to offer a new range of fresh, locally made meals,” Mrs McLeod said.
“This partnership celebrates local business, good nutrition, and the wonderful sense of community that makes the Central Coast such a special place.”
Marty and Megan from Activate Foods said they were thrilled to be part of the project and proud to support the local community through the collaboration.
“We’re delighted to partner with Meals on Wheels Central Coast to create meals that are locally made, healthy, and full of flavour,” they said.
“Our team is passionate about producing fresh, nutritious food made with care, and it’s wonderful to work with an organisation that shares that same vision.”
