North Shore Meals on Wheels is a non-profit organization that has been operating on the North Shore for close to 40 years. Not only do the organization’s 120 volunteers deliver nutritious meals directly to clients three days a week, but volunteers often stay for a short visit, assuring family members that their loved ones will be checked on every time meals are delivered. North Shore Meals on Wheels is part of a network of services that works to ensure clients can maintain their independence and remain in their own homes. Our donation will be used to purchase additional thermal carriers to ensure meals arrive hot and ready to eat.

The Society's mission is to compassionately support and motivate North Shore women who are caring for their young children (newborn to 5 years old) in difficult and challenging situations. Priority is given to low-income families (which may include teenage mothers and new immigrants) and mothers of children with disabilities, developmental delays or behavioural challenges. Often mothers are dealing with physical or mental health issues. Sometimes they suffer from post-partum depression, or are running from abusive relationships, or are dependant on drugs and alcohol.
Our donation will be used to train and pay experienced caregivers.
