We’re launching a very special intergenerational pen pal program and we’re looking for seniors who would love to be part of it 💌

This program connects local youth and seniors through handwritten letters, story sharing, and building connection across generations.

If you or someone you know enjoys writing, storytelling, or simply connecting with others, we would love to have you join us. No technology required! Just a kind heart and a few minutes each month.

✨ What to expect:
• Monthly letter exchange
• Thoughtful matching process
• A chance to make a real difference in a young person’s life

To sign up contact Kaitlyn at kstoddart@wechc.on.ca or 519-768-1715 ext. 2314

🌟 A huge thank you to Mayor Mike Hentz! 🌟
Today we were honoured to have Mayor Hentz join our amazing WECHC volunteers to help deliver Meals on Wheels as part of our March for Meals campaign.
Your support means so much—not only to our organization, but to the seniors in our community who rely on this vital service. It’s always inspiring to see local leaders step up and experience firsthand the impact of Meals on Wheels.
Thank you, Mayor Hentz, for your time, compassion, and commitment to supporting vulnerable residents across our community. ❤️🍽️

A heartfelt thank you to MP Andrew Lawton for joining us in Rodney today to help deliver Meals on Wheels! 🧡🍽️

Your support brings so much visibility to how vital this service is—especially for seniors and adults living independently in our rural communities. For many, Meals on Wheels is more than a nutritious meal… it’s a safety check, a friendly face, and a reminder that they’re not alone.

March is March for Meals, a nationwide campaign that shines a spotlight on the importance of supporting home-delivered meal programs. Having leaders like Andrew step forward helps us raise awareness and strengthen this lifeline for those who need it most.

Thank you again for helping us celebrate our clients, our volunteers, and the power of community! 💛??🥘

🍀 Soup’s On Gang Celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in Style! 🍀
A huge thank-you to Mike Meacher for entertaining us—your music had everyone smiling, singing, and dancing! 💚🎶
We enjoyed amazing food, great company, and plenty of laughs. And of course, none of it would have been possible without our incredible volunteers who prepared the food, and took care of the set-up and tear-down. We appreciate you so much! 🙌💚
What a wonderful celebration! ☘️🥣💃🕺
