The big financial boost will help supply meals to 139 local clients
The Prince George Council of Seniors, which operates the Meals on Wheels program in the bowl area, North Nechako and College Heights, got a big boost Thursday afternoon.
“I just didn’t know what to say. That is a huge donation and it will go such a long way to supporting the Meals on Wheels program. Financially we always struggle with this program and because of this generous donation it will keep the price of the meals low.” The council has managed to recruit volunteer drivers to deliver all the meals but there’s always room for more and there’s also an opportunity for relief drivers who are needed when regular drivers go on vacation or need a break, he added.
“We thought it was an important cause to help out the seniors,” Cheryl Riddle, controller, at PG Ford, said about the donation. “We thought it was important to get a partnership between Prince George Ford and the Prince George Council of Seniors because it’s definitely very important to look after the seniors.”
