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. ~ NEWS & EVENTS Build Grow Deliver:
Santropol Roulant's Securing Our Future Campaign  Santropol Roulant has launched a $2.8 million Securing our Future campaign. We have spent two years consulting our members, partners and other organizations to develop a vision to invest in Santropol Roulant’s future and work in the community. By purchasing and renovating a new home for Santropol Roulant, the Securing our Future campaign will allow us to Build stability, Grow our programs and impact, and Deliver an innovative model for community building that celebrates the leadership and potential of people of all ages. Securing our Future is ambitious, involving the largest fundraising effort we have ever undertaken. Thanks to the support and generosity of our lead donors, we have already raised $1.42 million. We will need your help to turn this dream into reality and create the next chapter of the Santropol Roulant story. Here is how you can help: - Make a donation to Securing our Future! Please print out the pledge form or give us a call at 514-284-9335.

Santropol Roulant's Food Audit 
Food is at the heart of what we do, and so how we do it is something we take to heart. Last fall Santropol Roulant produced a Food Audit, a review and analysis of what types of food our kitchen uses, where our food comes from, and what portion of this food is organic, fair trade, local, or other.
This food audit, hopefully the first of many more to come, will help Santropol Roulant set targets and meet regulations for the future. A food audit can also help connect us to the source of our food and inform our future purchasing choices. It will also reflect positively on the Roulant as it demonstrates a strategic step towards environmental education and improvement. Click here to take a look! (PDF version)
