Home-delivered food
It is important for all people to be able to have a hearty and nutritious meal every day. Food delivery service is available for individuals who cannot cook for themselves and aren't able to eat at one of Reykjavík City's Department of Welfare's community centers.
How does the service work?
Food delivery goes out three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
You must place your order by noon on Wednesday to receive food delivery the following week.
