While Edmonton Meals on Wheels , a downtown non-profit , provides services to anyone facing a barrier to preparing nutritious meals , it serves a large population of local seniors . It offers a wide variety of customizations for special dietary needs — including gluten-free , halal , special diets for diabetes or kidney disease , or those who need their meals diced or pureed . On June 25 and 26 , fifteen ARTA staff members worked three different shifts , helping to prepare the over three hundred meals for their daily distribution .
