The Mustard Seed has launched its Dinner2Door program which delivers hot meals to Edmontonians in need who are unable to access regular food programming due to isolation or social distancing. The contactless-delivery system ensures those living in poverty still have access to warm meals even during such unprecedented times.

Mustard Seed volunteers safely prepare, freeze, and package “take-away” meals, which are then delivered to the doors of registered individuals and families across the city, five times a week. In compliance with COVID-19 protocols outlined by Alberta Health Services, volunteers maintain safe social spacing at all times.

Delivery drivers are needed to pick up pre-packaged, frozen meals from the Mustard Seed Location (10635 96 St NW) on September 29th and every Thursday in October. We need 3 drivers per shift. Sign up for one Thursday or as many dates you can help!

Thank you Marilyn Mucha for organizing this service opportunity (see the bottom of this newsletter for links to signup).
