Santropol Roulant
Santropol Roulant is an award-winning community organization based in the Plateau neighbourhood of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The organization uses food as a vehicle to break isolation and build bridges between individuals and generations. Unlike most meals on wheels organizations, Santropol Roulant's staff and volunteer base consists mainly of younger people. The meals on wheels service provides 80 to 100 evening meals five days a week, prepared and delivered by over 100 volunteers.〔(Santropol Roulant Official Site )〕 Most of the meals are delivered on foot or by bicycle to the homes of seniors and people living with a loss of autonomy.
==History==
Santropol Roulant was founded in 1995 by Chris Godsall, 25, and Keith Fitzpatrick, 27 who were waiters at the Café Santropol, a restaurant on Saint Urbain Street. Their experience volunteering in traditional meals on wheels organizations led them to recognize the value in intergenerational exchange. They decided to start their own service, with young volunteers serving seniors and others living with a loss of autonomy.〔(Santropol Roulant Official Site )〕 The café generously donated a kitchen space across the street, and to honour this donation, the founders named it Santropol Roulant, meaning Santropol on Wheels. In 2010, the organization relocated to its current address at 111 Roy est.
