Volunteers Bring Hot Kosher Meals Regularly
To Homes Of 100 Montreal Elderly Jews
By Ben Gallob
More than 100 elderly Mon
treal Jews receive a kosher hot
noon-day meal, delivered to
their homes three to five times
a week by volunteers, in a
multi-agency program which en
ables them to continue to live in
their homes and saves both them
and the Jewish community the
high costs in institutional care.
The Meals on Wheels project
was started in May, 1967, as a
pilot program of the Montreal
section of the National Council
of Jewish Women, according to
the official publication of the
Allied Jewish Community Ser
vices, the central agency for
Montreal Jewry, which reported
that 112 meals were provided in
that first month. The 210 wom
en volunteers now serving
in the program are provided
through the Montreal section,
the women’s auxiliary of the
Maimonides Hospital and Home
for the Aged and B’nai B’rith
Women. They provide the ser
vice 52 weeks a year to Jews
who are either severely limited
in their ability to shop or cook
or who are socially isolated.
Officials said the program is
much more than a delivery ser
vice. Volunteers are informed
about the recipient’s physical
and mental condition and report
to caseworkers anything of con
cern. The volunteers meet on a
regular basis with professional
workers in the social services
departments of participating
hospitals to discuss their find
ings and for follow-up where
the professionals decide it is
necessary. Most of the elderly
Jews receive meals three times
a week. Where more extensive
service is considered necessary,
five visits are arranged weekly.
The program is available for
people who can pay and for
those who cannot. The cost per
meal to the hospital is estimated
at 65 cents. More than half of
the recipients are on special
diets and portions also are var
ied according to requests of re
cipients. In many cases, the vol
unteer is the only social con
tact the elderly Jews have with
the outside world. Officials
said that many Jews who had
been depressed and withdrawn

now have someone to talk to
whom they can look forward to
seeing on a regular basis. The
volunteer, as a link between
the professional and the recip
ient, provides an additional
saving in providing help which
otherwise professionals would
be required to give. The volun
teers are generally women be
tween 40 and 60, the kind of
people “interested in the people
they serve,” the officials added.
The project chairman, Connie
Solomon, attributed the success
of the program to the dedication
of the volunteers. She cited the
response of the volunteers to
Montreal snowstorms. One team
in suburban Chomedy spent six
hours, rather than the usual
two, delivering meals through
the storm. On another such oc
casion, Chomedy roads were
impassable. The dietitian at the
Jewish Convalescent Hospital,
which joined the project in No
vember, 1969, called the dietit
ian at the Jewish General Hos
pital and reported the number
and type of meals needed. The
kitchen at Jewish General Hos
pital prepared the required ad
ditional meals and volunteers
delivered them by taxi.
