Airdrie Meals on Wheels seeks volunteers after 43 years of service
The long-running food delivery program says it needs new helpers to ease pressure on existing volunteers and keep meal deliveries running smoothly.
Why it matters
Volunteer shortages could affect the delivery of meals to vulnerable Airdrie residents who rely on the program.
Airdrie Meals on Wheels, which has been serving the community for 43 years, is calling on residents to volunteer with the organization. The group says it needs fresh support to combat burnout among current volunteers.
Organizers say bringing in new volunteers would also help introduce fresh perspectives into how the program operates, as it continues its long-standing mission of delivering meals to those in need across Airdrie.
The call for volunteers comes as the program marks more than four decades of continuous operation in the community.
