The VON Windsor-Essex Meals on Wheels program got a holiday boost with a donation of $5,000 from ENWIN Utilities’s community support program.
The contribution to the Meals on Wheels program will help ensure isolated seniors who are unable to shop or cook for themselves will receive a hot meal this winter.

“The team at ENWIN and our Community Support Committee are proud to support programs like Meals on Wheels and to help those in our community who need it most.”
ENWIN’s community support committee, a group of employee volunteers from across the company, voted to support the Meals on Wheels initiative.
The donation will provide more than 600 free meals to those in need within the City of Windsor.
“ENWIN’s support of VON’s Meals on Wheels Program is a true testament to the power of community support,” said Christine Brush, program co-ordinator.
“VON believes that everyone has the right to care and service regardless of their circumstances.
“ENWIN’s generous donation will allow VON to continue serving our community’s most vulnerable through the delivery of free meals.”
Meals on Wheels assists seniors, people recovering from illness or surgery and people with disabilities, helping them maintain their independence at home and offering a connection with a caring community.
Meals are delivered five days a week by VON volunteers and prepared by volunteers in government-inspected kitchens or under contract between VON and commercial or institutional kitchens.
