The North Bay VON’s and Mayor Al McDonald were out delivering meals to seniors in need in the community.
As part the Meals on Wheels program, the mayor joins the volunteers to make deliveries. In his 7th year with the program, McDonald says it’s the volunteers who really drive its success.
“These individuals use their own vehicles, their own gas and one of the things I like to do as mayor is promote this as much as possible in the community.”
But he says with an average of 400 meals being delivered per week, he says more volunteers are needed everyday.
“We need more volunteers to assist the seniors in need. It’s a fun group and if you’ve ever visited these great seniors, it is heartwarming to go in and chat with them.”
