Clever Pandemic Planning to Keep Meals on Wheels Delivered
A second Meals on Wheels site has been established at the Eureka Centre in Ballarat to ensure continuity of service to our most vulnerable in the community.
The workforce bubble means if one Meals on Wheels site or team becomes impacted by COVID-19, Ballarat City Council has a backup site to continue the delivery of meals to clients by its Ageing Well team and volunteers.
The service currently delivers 1250 meals per week.
Ann Pitt, Executive Manager of Ageing Well said the Meals on Wheels service was now split between the two sites, with different delivery rounds assigned to each, to reduce the risk of any cross contamination.
