“It’s a big job, but it was a lot of fun because we brought volunteers directly from the South Asian community in to work with us,” Sonja Zacharko of Edmonton Meals on Wheels said at a launch event on Friday.

“Food is so much more than just physical. When people can find comfort in food and can identify with it, it improves well-being so much.”

Zacharko says the organization will look at expanding their menu to additional cultural groups soon.
