Meals on Wheels Support

The Scarborough Centre for Healthy Communities is looking for folks who might be interested in "adopting" a Meals on Wheels delivery route, and with your help, West hill might be able to offer some support.

This would simply mean a pool of people who one day a week would take it in turns to deliver meals in the community. In other words if we has a WHU team and our pool had 4 members then each person would deliver meals once a month.

The deliveries take between one and two hours, and start at either Extendicare (pickup @ 10:30 am) on Guildwood Parkway, or Seven Oaks (pickup @ 11:30) at Neilson and Ellesmere.

Routes typically have around ten to fifteen meals to deliver. Ideally it's easier with a team of two (driver and runner) but from personal experience I had no problems doing it solo. It's possible that SCHC might be able to supply a runner if required. Drivers are partially reimbursed for mileage.

Interested volunteers should contact Peter Thomas through the church office.

Thank you to our community business partners for supporting WHU programs and events!
