    CIIPA's Community Relations Committee is once again hosting its annual Hurricane Supplies for the Elderly community service event, organised in partnership with Meals On Wheels.

    Ahead of this, we are running a donation drive to collect food and supplies in support of Meals on Wheels. These items will allow Meals on Wheels to replenish their food stocks and other hurricane supplies for our Elderly and more vulnerable community members. This will enable us to put together even more kits for those persons most vulnerable in our community.

    Please sign up by 16 May so that we may provide you the packing list with ample time. 

    Here is a list of goods requested by Meals on Wheels for the hurricane kits. 

    If you or your organisation are interested in collecting items for hurricane kits, please register to indicate this to the Community Relations Committee and obtain a listing of items needed for the kits.

    The Community Relations Committee will also reach out to arrange collection the week of 2nd June.

    Additionally, there will be a box located at the CIIPA office at 45 Beckz Close (map below) if you would prefer to donate that way, so please feel free to drop off any items there if you are donating individually (not through your organisation).
