Great Stories
Meals on Wheels SA is a non-for-profit organisation that provides delicious meals and services to customers across South Australia. Hearing stories from our wonderful MoWSA team caused us to want to create a place where you can experience the behind-the-scenes with us. This is what led us to this podcast, where our focus is sharing the great and interesting stories of our customers, volunteers, and employees’ stories with you. New episodes are on the 1st, 8th, and 15th of every month.
