WOW - Women on Wheels
WOW - WOMEN ON WHEELS was established in March 2009 as a FRESH START pilot program which was designed to provide FRIENDSHIP....FRESH AIR....FITNESS to seniors each week at local care facilities in our community. Every Wednesday afternoon from 2:00pm to 3:00pm the women of FRESH START meet residents at the Kiwanis Care Facility and take them outside for a breath for FRESH AIR to promote health and wellness in the nursing homes. The WOW outings range from on site visits to strolls along the West Van seawall to Christmas mall shopping. There is something magic in the fresh air every Wednesday!
"The volunteers from Fresh Air Fitness have brought wonderful opportunities to our residents. Their weekly volunteering, focusing on getting folks moving outside, has created such obvious pleasure to our residents that it’s been noticed throughout the building. The FAF ladies’ warm and friendly personalities have helped form bonds that go beyond volunteerism to friendship. Jennifer’s desire to positively impact the lives of seniors living in care has created one of the most valuable programs I have had the pleasure to facilitate."
