Donating

The Impact of Your Donation

Donations given to East York Meals on Wheels are incredibly impactful, and greatly appreciated by our staff as well as those who we serve. Your donation helps us:

• Deliver meals to people, who because of disability, illness or frailty, are otherwise unable to acquire adequate nutrition.

• Improve nutrition and reduce isolation. Diners Club luncheons provide a delicious meal, and an opportunity for seniors to meet and socialize at up to 10 different luncheons each month, with transportation and an arm to lean on provided by caring volunteers.

• Connect volunteers and isolated seniors. Your donation helps us connect friendly volunteers with isolated, elderly individuals with our Telephone Reassurance program for regular checks on their health and well being.

• Provide home visits and social work services. Our client services coordinator visits clients in their homes, deals with emergency situations, offers assistance in accessing a variety of services and serves as a supportive counselor.
