Oakville Kiwanis Meals on Wheels delivers hot/frozen meals to individuals in our community who need assistance with meal preparation for either extended or short periods of time. Individuals may call to request service for themselves or service can be requested by a friend, relative, doctor or other community agency. Hot meals are standing orders and are delivered Monday to Friday at the noon hour. Frozen meal orders are placed by the client one week in advance of delivery by calling the office. The frozen meals are delivered on the Wednesday of the following week. Volunteers deliver all meals. If you or someone you know could benefit from our service, or to volunteer call Judy or Lauraine at 905-842-1411 for information about our service.

FareShare Foodbank Collections

FareShare Foodbank Collections On Communion Sundays
In Oakville, as in many other places, the local foodbank is an essential support line for many families. At Glen Abbey, we encourage people to make monthly foodbank contributions on Communion Sundays (usually the first Sunday of the month). As we come to the Lord's Table to remember the spiritual gifts we have been given, we also try to ensure that food is available for those in need.

Outreach

Roofs For the Roofless - ongoing penny collection in "little white house".

Eyeglasses collection - put your used glasses in the box in the foyer by the bulletin board.

Cash register tapes from UltraMart, A&P, Dominion, and SuperFresh are being collected to help support church Outreach programs.
