Winter comes early in the Roulant headquarters
While the weather gets steadily colder outside, it’s also gotten colder inside this September in the Roulant with the installation of a new walk-in fridge and freezer. For years now, we dreamed of updating our walk-in fridge and freezer for a few reasons. First, an upgrade was necessary to conform to the new city regulations of Montreal. Second, we wanted …
A generous donation from Opus Bike
Opus Bike has generously donated four extraordinary city bikes, including the Classico 2, two Zermatts, and a Porto for Meals-on-Wheels purposes! As you may know, bikes are essential for some of our volunteers who deliver meals to our Meals-on-Wheels clients. As soon as the bikes are ready to hit the road, anyone going on deliveries will be able to enjoy them. …
The Relaunch of Mise au Point
In 2015, we began working on the longest research and development project for the Meals-on-Wheels program, “Mise au point“, which was built in order to improve our services. At that time, we launched a micro website to share our results and online tools with the community. Sadly, the site became corrupt and all the information was lost. This is why …

These companies have all been doing corporate volunteering with the Roulant for the past several years, and we were happy to have them back once again to lend a hand. First came AOL / Huffpost …
