What's for Dinner?
The What's for Dinner? program is FREE training for volunteers who support older people living at home.
This training helps volunteers:
- Start conversations about food and eating.
- Spot "red flags" for malnutrition (early warning signs).
- Report concerns to help older people get the support they need.
Volunteers often know their clients well and can notice when something changes. This training gives volunteers the tools to act on those changes.
