The Home Delivered Meals Program provides older adults with a nutritious lunch delivered to their door up to 5 days per week. It is an essential tool to prevent food insecurity, malnutrition, and social isolation when mobility challenges, illness, or disability make it difficult to grocery shop and prepare food. During the recent COVID pandemic, Springwell went from delivering 250,000 meals to 350,000 annually. Even with the end of pandemic restrictions, we continue to serve the same number of meals in response to the challenges of living on a fixed income in a period of inflation and the loneliness crisis. With the ongoing shifts in the economy and the job market, we have been unable to hire enough full-time drivers to deliver all these meals. Volunteers have generously responded to our recruiting efforts for drivers enabling us to deliver each meal in a timely manner Monday through Friday. We always need more drivers.

Please volunteer to join us for a shift or two each week if the following qualifications make this opportunity a good fit for you:

Must have a reliable car, a current driver’s license, and a clean driving record;
Must be able to lift 25 pounds; and
Must meet the regulatory pre-requisites for the position.
Springwell will train volunteers and provide ongoing support to make sure each volunteer has the resources needed to deliver meals to older adults relying on this service.

Please contact us! Email volunteer@springwell.com to start the process; or go online to learn more at https://springwell.com/resource/volunteer-home-delivered-meals-drivers/

Program Details

We provide delicious, healthy meals to individuals in Glace Bay and surrounding areas who are unable to prepare meals for themselves.

Meals on Wheels focuses on caring for individuals whose diminished mobility makes it hard to shop for food, prepare meals or socialize with others. Generally programs serve adults 60 and over, although age requirements can vary.

Why it Matters:

Nutritious meals are a key factor in keeping you or your loved one in their own home, but sometimes shopping and cooking can be too much. We can help ensure that healthy meals are one less thing the older adults in our community have to worry about.

Meals are delivered in Glace Bay, Port Morien to Donkin, Reserve Mines, Dominion
Meals are delivered Monday - Thursday, between 3-4pm

Volunteers must:
Have a valid drivers license (or volunteer with a partner who will be the driver)
Agree to submit a criminal record check and vulnerable sector search
Show proof of Covid vaccine
Be available to deliver meals starting at 3:30pm on their selected day
Commit to at least one day (1 hour)/ week*

*Employee group or service group are encouraged to sign up to 'adopt a route' so shifts can be divided up between several group members.

Sending Hope, One Card At A Time

We Mailing monthly uplifting greeting cards to those with cancer.
The mission of Send A Smile Today™ is to let cancer patients know they are never alone by regularly mailing uplifting greeting cards: from time of cancer diagnosis - through treatment - to survivorship. Cards are mailed monthly to ANYONE of ANY age with ANY TYPE of cancer in the United States and are meant to provide hope, love and support.

Send A Smile Today™ receives donations of greeting cards, envelopes, postage stamps and monetary donations to support our operation. We then, once a month, mail cards to those with cancer who have signed up on our website to receive cards from our organization.

According to the American Cancer Society, in 2023, there could be nearly 2 million new cancer cases in the United States. Some charitable organizations raise money for cancer research, while other organizations provide cancer screenings, trips to treatment, wigs, etc. Send A Smile Today™ is different because our sole purpose is to provide hope, love, and support to those going through cancer treatment.

CARD MAKING GUIDELINES
95% of our card recipients are adults, 5% are children and teens. We need mostly adult cards.
Use cardstock only. Not accepted: cards made on printer paper or construction paper
Cards should be folded, not flat
Write uplifting messages inside. Click here for examples.
Do not write “Get Well Soon” – we will not accept these cards
Do not write “Feel Better Soon” – we will not accept these cards..
Sign your first name inside the card so the person receiving the card will know who made it. It is ok to include a business name if your company wishes to do so.
Store bought cards are acceptable, however, you must add a personal handwritten message inside, signed by you.
We do accept Holiday Cards.
All donations must come from a smoke-free home.
When donating envelopes along with your cards – keep the envelopes separate from the cards. (Keep the stack of cards and stack of envelopes separate.) Do not stuff the cards inside the envelopes. Do not seal the envelopes shut.
When donating postage stamps, do not put the stamp on the envelope – keep the stamps separate on the sheet they came on.
Would you like an acknowledgement of your donation? Provide us with your email address when mailing your donation. We only email tax receipts and no longer mail through postal mail. Please allow up to 6 weeks to receive an emailed tax receipt.
Mail your donations in a large envelope or box too: PO Box 623, Cabin Creek WV 25035.

Give out raffle tickets for the following event:

We are excited to announce that we are organizing a raffle to raise funds for a noble cause. The raffle will use the donations to donate blood pressure machines to the underserved communities in our area.

Blood pressure machines are vital tools for monitoring and managing hypertension, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide and can lead to serious complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure. However, many people in low-income and rural areas do not have access to these machines or the health care services they need.

That's why we decided to create this raffle, where you can win some amazing prizes while supporting a good cause. For every $5 you donate, you will receive one raffle ticket. The more you donate, the more chances you have to win!

Some of the prizes include:
- A gift basket with gourmet chocolates and wine
- A spa voucher for a relaxing massage and facial
- A one-year subscription to Netflix
- A $100 Amazon gift card
- A $50 Starbucks card
- And many more!

The raffle ends on May 31st and the winners will be announced on June 1st on our website https://bhcmission.org/raffle-ticket-event and contacted by email. You can donate online until May 31st at 5 pm.

We hope you will join us in this raffle and help us make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. Thank you for your generosity and support.
