A community meal delivery programme in West Sussex has broadened its scope.

HILS has introduced morning meal packages as an addition to its existing services.

The new offerings aim to assist individuals who struggle with preparing their own breakfast or who require support while waiting for caregivers to arrive.

These morning packages work alongside the established hot meal provision, offering residents a straightforward method to establish consistent eating routines.

The initiative forms part of a wider strategy to ensure beneficiaries receive regular nourishment, which is considered essential for maintaining wellbeing and self-sufficiency.

The breakfast selections encompass a range of items including cereals and porridge prepared with milk, pastries, muffins, dairy products, and beverages such as apple juice, milkshakes, and instant coffee.

Beyond supporting energy levels throughout the morning, these packages prove particularly useful for those managing medication schedules.

Family members and caregivers also benefit from knowing their relatives have immediate access to food upon waking.

The Meals on Wheels operation is managed by HILS under contract with West Sussex County Council, delivering adaptable meal assistance to local residents.
