March for Meals Day 4

VON sends a huge thank you to Constable Lockwood for joining us on Thursday to help feed our friends and neighbors! Your participation not only brought smiles to the faces of those who received a meal but also exemplified the spirit of community service. We are incredibly fortunate to have the support of our local police, whose members consistently demonstrate dedication and care for our community's well-being.

A loud shout-out as well to our wonderful volunteer John for allowing us to tag along with you on your deliveries and to our local hospital for preparing the delicious hot meals we provide each day.

If you're inspired by the spirit of giving and want to join the team, give our office a call at 519-245-3170 to find out how you can volunteer. Together, we can make a difference and touch lives!

A Week Filled with Joy and New Connections!

This week, we are thrilled to have mayors, police officers and fire responders joining March for Meals community champion’s week as we deliver hot nutritious meals to community members.

Everyone is enjoying the opportunity to get involved, meet new people and see fresh new faces. One of the highlights this week was singing "Happy Birthday" to a remarkable 94-year-old woman who chose to share her special day with us.

Day 3 of Community Champion's week, our dedicated volunteer Judy was joined by fire responder Brandon and VON staff Meghan (not pictured), on her route.

It is VON’s goal to deliver not only nutritious meals but to warm the hearts of our community members as well!

Do you know a friend or family member who could benefit from receiving a nutritious meal delivered right to their door? We would love to lend a helping hand. Give us a call at VON: 519-245-3170.

Heroes Serving Heroes!

For Day 2 of , we witnessed a truly special moment: joining our dedicated volunteer John, VON staff Dana and Jayson, one of our local Strathroy-Caradoc firefighters delivered a hot meal and a warm smile to a retired member of the fire service.

This is the heart of the March for Meals mission. It’s about more than just a delivery; it’s about honoring our seniors, providing the nutrition they need to stay healthy at home, and ensuring that those who dedicated their lives to serving others are never forgotten.

When one hero steps up to support another, it reminds us that a simple meal is a powerful bridge of connection and care.

Putting some extra "firepower" behind our deliveries this week!

We’re kicking off March for Meals with a very special guest crew: our local firefighters! They took a break from the station to help deliver fresh meals, warm smiles, and safety checks to our neighbors.

What is March for Meals?
It’s a month-long celebration of the Meals on Wheels network. We provide "More than a Meal"—delivering the nutrition, social connection, and wellness checks that help seniors and adults with disabilities live independently and healthily at home.

Day 1 – On route to deliver meals today were VON staff Sandra accompanied by Fireman Brent and our wonderful volunteer Gary. Also pictured is volunteer Cathy and the SMGH kitchen team who prepare meals for our community members.

The celebration continues all week long as we host local leaders, partners, and volunteers to highlight this vital program. A huge thank you to our first responders for leading the way!
