From the Executive Director
C. Lynn Chapman
On September 21, 1967 10 meals were delivered, by volunteers to seniors in our community. That was when we were known as Mount Dennis & Weston Meals on Wheels, and that was the beginning of who we are now-Humber Community Seniors' Services. Many things have changed over the last 42 years, from the different meal suppliers who have made our Meals on Wheels dinners, to the different names we have been known as, to our different locations, our changing staff, changing and evolving services, changing and growing sources of funding, to our ever growing and changing volunteers.
In fact, speaking of volunteers, I don't know if anyone has ever really stopped to think that, over the last 42 years, we have had many hundreds of different volunteers, each one special and helpful in their own way. In total, they have donated approximately 950,000 hours of their time to help seniors in our community from 1967 until now. Thank you to all of these volunteers who have helped us make a difference in the lives of our seniors.
