It’s called Mayor’s for Meals and the awareness campaign about VON Meals On Wheels continued for an eighth year locally on Tuesday.

Mayor Al McDonald was highlighting the program, helping to deliver meals to residents in the community who are unable to shop or prepare their own meals.

“To encourage people to volunteer, these individuals actually donate the use of their own vehicles, so they’re tremendous champions for our seniors,” he says.

Meals on Wheels is providing about 100 hot meals a day, Monday to Friday, right now.

Coordinator Megan McDonell explains what the volunteers would be doing.

“They would be coming to Cassellholme, picking up the hot meals and delivering them to the clients,” she says.
