Proud to have been able to help deliver 70 of the 640 meals. Well done President Nita for organizing this AWESOME service project.

Yesterday morning, club members from the Rotary Club of Mississauga-Meadowvale contributed funds to Feed Mississauga to provide 640 meals to Mississauga residents in need. Feed Mississauga began as a special initiative to help families in Mississauga during the pandemic. Our club was able to contribute funds that were raised through charity bingo at Rama Gaming and matched by a special Rotary district grant to fund 640 hot meals. Our team was out at the Mississauga Conventio...n Centre yesterday to help deliver the meals across the community. We received helping hands from Peel Regional Police and the Mississauga Fire Department. A special visit from Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie was appreciated. Our sincere thanks go to the team at Feed Mississauga, the Mississauga Convention Centre, Peel Regional Police, Mississauga Fire Department, and Mayor Bonnie Crombie. #Rotary #ServiceAboveSelf #Mississauga #FeedMississauga #Community

The Rotary Club of Mississauga Meadowvale is a Rotary PeaceBuilder Club; at the moment, only 1 or 3 in Canada. The Rotary Action Group for Peace (RAG for Peace) provides oversight and designation. Below is a recent email received from the RAG for Peace about 'Opening Opportunities for Racial Justice.' The author, Reem Ghunaim, is a Rotary Peace Fellow and experienced racial injustice in her youth. Let's Open Opportunities for Racial Justice Dear Peacebuilders, ...Continue reading

A great way to assist an awesome group of young adults to be people of action!

What a pleasure being able to be part of the Meadowvale Rotary Club, and be able to deliver a greatly appreciated & needed donation during the Covid-19 pandemic. To go towards the installation of a security system upgrade. So you see; I got caught sneaking in the donation (LOL), and then there was the great reveal (ala Masked Singer). Armagh House is a great institution supporting spouses and their families transit from an abusive home/relationship. The chief security officer, Lynn Ward, also the Executive Director, gave me permission to use these pics.

I have the great pleasure of being part of the Meadowvale Rotary Club. I was able to deliver a much needed, greatly appreciate donation during the Covid-19 pandemic; to go towards an upgrade of their security system. So you see; I got caught sneaking in the donation (LOL, the system works), and then there was a great reveal (ala the Masked Singer). Armagh House is a great organization, for spouses transitioning from an abusive relationship/home.

The Dam: provides services which develop, assist and mentor the youth of today in Mississauga. Sara, in the pic, is an great example, having been involved with The Dam since she was in grade 9. Now she is a leader! The Dam are people of action. I am presenting a chq from Rotary Meadowvale, to The Dam, for teen gifts at the annual The Dam Christmas event. Quite possible, many of these teens would not receive a gift at home. Rotary Meadowvale is helping The Dam to make a meaningful impact in our local community. Picture taken by Melody.

The Rotary Club of Meadowvale gathered for our annual club turnover meeting recently. Please join us in thanking David Grabb for his outstanding leadership and commitment as the 2018-19 President of the Rotary Club of Meadowvale. We welcome Mario Caruso as our new 2019-20 President and we also welcome newly inducted member Ray Hammett to our club.

We believe 'The Dam' are people in action; who are creating a meaningful impact with the teens who live in the Meadowvale community! They were our named charity at our recent FOOL'S NIGHT fundraiser; a comedy night! Here is their thank you letter.
