CANADA – From coast to coast, the Sutton community has helped to rescue wildlife, protect the environment, support the many frontline workers who keep us safe, feed the hungry and make life better for people facing a variety of challenges. Now, due to illness, travel restrictions, social isolation and job loss, the need is greater than ever. Charities desperately need your help. In the spotlight this week are those with urgent requests in Nova Scotia.
Halifax Meals on Wheels delivers nutritious, tasty meals to people who are unable to prepare their own. Every weekday, this non-profit relies on volunteers to package from approximately 9-10 a.m., then runners and drivers make deliveries from 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Shifts are short and organizers will accommodate real estate professionals who may have schedule changes due to appointments. For more details, please contact info@halifaxmealsonwheels.ca.
Although it may look different than in previous years, the Ride for Cancer will take place on October 3, 2020. Organizers are planning different scenarios to deal with the evolving pandemic and are committed to host the event and do so safely. All proceeds will be used to care for cancer patients. If you are looking for fundraising tips, inspiration or support, book a ‘Virtual Kick-Off Zoom call’ for you and your team with a Ride expert. Contact Steven Fullerton at steven.fullerton@qe2foundation.ca.
