***** HOLIDAY HOURS ALERT****

Another year is almost over and winter is on its way.  Our Volunteer Drivers are dedicated people.  However, to ensure their safety, we will cancel deliveries on days when the weather conditions make it unsafe to drive.  If this happens, an announcement will be broadcast on radio stations, The Weather Network, CP 24 and CHUM Stations.

Due to the upcoming holidays, Brampton Meals on Wheels will be closed the following dates:

–  Monday December 26th, 2011

–  Tuesday, December 27^th, 2011

–   Monday, January 2^nd, 2012

We will resume normal delivery schedules on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012.   We recommend to all our clients that they have an emergency supply of our frozen meals on hand in case of winter storms that may prevent our Volunteers from delivering meals.  We will be accepting orders for our Frozen Meals program by Tuesdays and all Frozen Meals are delivered every Friday morning.

If you have any questions about the Hot or Frozen Program, hours of operation or the delivery schedule, please call the office during normal business hours.  Or visit the website and send us a note on the Contact Us tab.

As always, thanks to our Clients for their business.  And thanks to all our Volunteers for their commitment in delivering meals throughout the year.  You’re the best!
