On the 10th of December our team of staff, interns, and volunteers worked together to deliver special meals to 85 seniors isolating at home and ran a virtual holiday concert so that we were able to dine together that evening. Thanks to the generosity and compassion of individual donors and community partners we were able to raise ... [drum roll please] ... almost $9,500 in support of this event!! These funds not only ensured that the dinner would be a success, but also greatly help in planning for our 2021 services and programs, keeping them free and accessible to all. 

Thank you to all the volunteers who assisted in the planning, coordination and execution of the 2020 Dinner, including: Susan, Raquel, Noor, Jana, Naila, Luigi, Tanya, Nour, Murad, Archita, Ashok, Julian, Venisia, Rose, Maria, Guillaume, Jami, Wah Keung, Eva, & Peter.
​
​Thank you to all our community partners for their financial support of this event, including: Jennifer Maccarone, MNA Westmount-Saint-Louis; Midnight Kitchen; QPIRG Concordia; QPIRG McGill; SACOMSS; Sumac & Sugar; and the Gustav Levinschi Foundation.
