The Blind Fitness Beach Walk and Run for Health offers a monthly opportunity for people who are blind or have low vision to get outside, exercise, engage with the community, and be proactive in caring for their mental and physical health. The group meets one Saturday a month at East Beach. Each participant sets their own goal for distance and pace, and if needed, is paired with a trained volunteer human guide to walk, jog, or run along the Santa Barbara waterfront. At the beginning of each event, we offer hands-on training for new volunteers to learn how to be a sighted human guide. All are welcome and encouraged to participate.

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.
