Welcome to Santropol Roulant !
 Santropol Roulant is an award-winning community organization founded and run by young people in Montreal. We bring people together across generations and cultures through an innovative approach to meals-on-wheels, and by engaging youth to take an active role in their community. Santropol Roulant uses food as a vehicle to create trust and build bridges between individuals in a city where isolation among the elderly is the highest in Canada. Since 1995, we have delivered over 380,000 meals to seniors and individuals living with a loss of autonomy and offered over 275 jobs and internships for young people in the community. We have built a reputation throughout Canada as a social service with a vision for social change, housing innovative perspectives on youth engagement, urban food systems and community care. ~ Exciting news! We have just moved into our new building at 111 Roy East (corner of Coloniale)! Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who helped make the moving process fun and efficient. Come visit us in our new space! ~ WE ARE HIRING
