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 430,000 meals to seniors and individuals living with a loss of autonomy and offered close to 300 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.

Santropol Roulant is a volunteer-based organization - the goals of the organization are accomplished through the time and energy volunteered by members of our community.

Santropol Roulant volunteers are caring, dynamic, dependable, patient, motivated and self-directed people with time and energy to give. Volunteers meet new people, learn from them, share their ideas, talents and gifts with others, spend time with friends, obtain valuable skills and job experience, take part in language and cultural exchange and, most importantly, become part of an amazing community!

The Intergenerational Program at Santropol Roulant harnesses the endless flow of ideas and energy presented by our members of all ages, and funnels them into activities that bring different ages together. Our formula is a simple one: we get together around food, and talk about what excites us, and the dreams we have for our communities.
