What's the difference between Sona's Kitchen and Meals on Wheels?+

Meals on Wheels is a community volunteer service offering hot meals delivered daily, often in a limited menu. Sona's Kitchen delivers chilled meals weekly or fortnightly across a 100+ dish menu, with Halal, vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium and diabetic-friendly options. Meals reheat in 4–6 minutes and last 14–17 days in the fridge.

Yes. We deliver Australia-wide via insulated chilled courier — including regional and outer-suburban postcodes where Meals on Wheels rosters are full or unavailable.

Is Sona's Kitchen funded like Meals on Wheels?+

Sona's Kitchen meals are funded under Support at Home (formerly Home Care Package) for approved seniors — pay just ~30% at checkout, we invoice your provider for the rest.

Can I get Halal or vegetarian meals?+

Yes — Halal-certified meats, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium and diabetic-friendly options across the menu. Most Meals on Wheels branches don't carry Halal at all.

How often do meals arrive?+

Weekly or fortnightly, on a day you choose. Meals are chilled (not frozen) and last 14–17 days in the fridge — plenty of buffer for a fortnightly cycle.
