Seniors’ Food Pilot Program expands

April 25, 2023 – Government of PEI: The provincial government is expanding the Seniors’ Food Pilot Program to Murray Harbour and Murray River. This expands the Kings County Pilot outside of the Georgetown area where it was initially launched.

PEI seniors in Murray River and Murray Harbour, aged 65 and older, can register as of April 25 to receive up to five meals per week. Seniors who are eligible for the program will pay a flat rate of $4 per meal, as the Department of Social Development and Seniors will cover the remaining costs. To be eligible for the pilot program, seniors must be eligible for the Seniors Independence Initiative.

“This pilot program expansion will allow the department to hear from more seniors about what types of food supports work best for them,” says Social Development and Seniors, Barb Ramsay. “Thank you to our community partners, The Home Plate, Meals on Wheels PEI, The Kings Playhouse and The Wheelhouse for their collaboration and commitment to this pilot project.”
