4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
Langley
East.
Thank
you.
Honorable
speaker,
I
Rise
today
to
highlight
a
fantastic
Community
organization
in
Langley
British
Columbia
Meals
on
Wheels
Langley
is
a
non-profit
organization
who
prides
itself
on
delivering
services
to
our
community
for
all
to
be
fed
connected
and
supported.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
tour
their
Aldergrove
Community
station
Hub
facility
and
was
just
thrilled
to
see
how
much
work
has
been
done
in
expanding
the
facilities
and
services
they
offer
since
I
had
last
been
there.
A
Langley
Meals
on
Wheels
offers
important
programs
like
the
home
from
the
hospital
program
meals
on
foot
where
local
school
age,
students
deliver
meals,
Boutique
finds
a
social
Enterprise
and
a
new
Outreach
kitchen.
When
I
toured
the
Alder
growth
facility,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
enjoy
a
lovely
lunch
at
the
firehouse
Cafe,
which
incorporates
a
Neighborhood
House
model
and
Community
Food
Center
Under
One
Roof.
They
provide
support
for
children,
youth
families
and
seniors
living
with
food
security
issues
offering
access
to
Food
Services
and
a
welcoming
Place
run
complete
by
a
team
of
dedicated
volunteers.
A
This
type
of
community
Hub
is
only
possible
because
of
the
hard
work
and
dedication
of
the
fabulous
team
that
makes
it
happen
each
and
every
day.
Thank
you

There
are
also
a
team
of
fantastic
volunteers
like
Karen
Long,
who
has
been
a
long
time
volunteer
in
our
community.
I
applaud,
The,
Innovation,
Community
dedication
and
fortitude
of
all
those
involved
