Approximately 50 volunteers deliver the meals as part of the program throughout the year. These volunteers include sen- iors, housewives, retirees and employees from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce - and the Royal Bank. LL Those receiving the hot meals are the frail and elderly resi- dents who are housebound and unable to prepare meals. This program serves a num- ber of functions including piece of mind for family members. Mrs. Imperial said it not only alleviates the worrying of the other family members, but pro- vides a regular check-up of the client. The clients are recommended by a family doctor or through a social service agency. The client pays $3.25 per meal. Although the client receives a hearty meal from one of the drivers, they also receive much more. Mrs. Imperial said it also provides them with a visitor which is often the only face they see. "It's very rewarding. They really say that they get joy in the smile," she said. "It's nice for an older person to have some- body they know."
