Volunteers needed to deliver meals in West Toronto
Toronto, August 25, 2010 - Meals
on Wheels, one of the oldest
programs
of St. Chris House, serving seniors and people with disabilities since
1965 in
south-west Toronto, is in much need of drivers and occasional cyclists
to help
delivering approximately 140 meals per day.
Running from Monday to Saturday, from 11am to 1pm, the program is calling on volunteers with cars or bikes to devote 2 hours of their time once a week, or every other week, or even once a month.
Drivers are teamed up with volunteers (runners) from the community, while cyclists use a trailer (provided by St. Chris) that hooks up to the bike to deliver hot meals to nearby residences (in St Chris’ catchment area).
Volunteers are essential components of this program. St. Christopher House depends on their generosity to provide this essential service to countless seniors who cannot prepare their lunch meals by themselves.
