Chances are many of the readers here don't know much about this organization that is active everyday with upwards of 40 volunteers. They are a wonderful organization that bring meals do the doorsteps of many in our community who need the support. Meals on Wheels has been active in many communities since its inception back in 1972. The Port Alberni location is very active helping people with disabilities and/or those with other short term illnesses stay properly nourished. Often the people being supported have no others in their network so not only do the volunteer drivers bring nourishment they also provide the support of human contact that is often needed by many. Meals on Wheels were a Finalist in the 2016 Volunteer of the Year Awards as they are again for 2017. Rightly so as they are an incredible organization. Managed by FT Coordinator Janet Buchanan and led by Volunteer President Claude Lavertu the organization is a Port Alberni jewel.
