Meals on Wheels has been around for more than 70 years, providing much more than food to the older Australians who rely on the service.
But in a growing number of communities across Australia, Meals on Wheels is facing challenges.
From the end of the month, Meals on Wheels clients in the Alpine Shire in regional Victoria will instead receive a fortnightly delivery of frozen meals from a private company.
In other places, Meals on Wheels services are being forced to turn people away or put them on waiting lists because of funding shortfalls.
So what does the future like for this much-loved community service?
