Your role changes how the information is read, but never the order of resources. Public, municipal, non-profit and volunteer-based options remain shown first.

- Identify the correct contact for the address.
- Find out the days, price and delivery format.
- Have menus, allergens, textures and reheating confirmed.
I am helping someone close to me
I want to organise a solution with the person, without deciding on their behalf or being directed automatically to a paid service.
- Respect consent and habits.
- Prepare access, absences and the contact person.
- Distinguish a practical difficulty from a health situation.
I would like to volunteer
I would like to help with deliveries and understand the framework offered by meal-service coordination.
- Check the area and current need.
- Confirm the vehicle, insurance and expenses.
- Understand the role and limits of a home visit.
Start with the specific situation
What need are you trying to address?
Temporary need
Returning home, recovering, fatigue or a temporary difficulty cooking. The service confirms the possible start date and frequency.
Regular support
Preparing meals has become difficult over time. An assessment and organisation with the service may be needed.
Medical or urgent need
A prescribed diet, severe allergy, swallowing difficulty, weight loss or sudden inability to eat requires professional advice.
Family-carer pathway
Organise without deciding on the person’s behalf
The resources remain the same. This pathway adds coordination, consent and continuity points that are useful to the person providing help.
Consent and preferences
Involve the person in choosing delivery days, menus, frequency and the main contact.
Municipality and exact address
Provide the municipality, postcode, floor, intercom and any access difficulties.
Main contact
Decide who receives calls, practical information and invoices and who may request a change.
Absences
Plan for holidays, hospital stays, cancellations and what happens if no one opens the door.
Health and food
Swallowing difficulty, severe allergy or a prescribed diet must be discussed directly with the responsible service.
Carer workload
When coordination becomes burdensome, contact Spitex or the social service for broader guidance.
Practical guidance
What DomusHelp can help you prepare
- Identify the municipality and first contact.
- Distinguish a one-off, regular or urgent need.
- Prepare a short list of questions before calling.
- Distinguish meal delivery, shopping and help preparing food.
- Check access, the refrigerator and reheating equipment.
- Direct medical or nutritional questions to the appropriate professionals.
- Respect the decision of the person concerned.
- Limit the information shared in a first email.

Verified public and volunteer-based resources
Start with SMZ Oberwallis meal-service coordination

Contribute to local connections
Help with meal deliveries
A volunteer visit brings a meal and human contact, but it is not care or a safety-monitoring service.
Meal-service coordination
SMZ Oberwallis publishes an opportunity for volunteer drivers. A category B driving licence, access to a car, reliability, discretion and good German are requested.
Framework for volunteering
Have the area, frequency, induction, insurance, mileage expenses, contact person and procedure for unusual situations confirmed.
Complementary option, never a commercial shortcut
Check private options before ordering
A private option becomes relevant when the official service does not cover the address, criteria are not met, the arrangements do not suit the person or the person expressly requests another option.
One-off meals or service on request
Check the municipality, frequency, minimum order, days, price, allergens and adaptations.
Fresh or vacuum-packed meal boxes
Check the postcode, cold chain, storage, reheating and possible absence of human contact.
Availability by address and season
The offer depends on open restaurants, delivery radius, time and season.
When the need goes beyond delivery
Home help, care and social support
A meal may be only one part of the situation. These contacts can provide guidance when health, independence, finances or family-carer workload are also involved.
Meals + need for home help or care
Coordination on 027 922 30 00. Needs are assessed before home-help or care services are arranged.
Social, administrative or financial difficulty
Telephone: 027 922 30 20. Email: sozialberatung@smzo.ch.
Medical or safety emergency
Call 144 or 112. DomusHelp, Spitex and meal services do not replace emergency services.
