Volunteer West Island has partnered with the city of Dollard-des-Ormeaux to set up a meals on wheels programme in the municipality.

The organization says it needs to be able to verify that it really is those in need who are receiving the food baskets.

A new film seeks to bring poverty in the West Island to the forefront.

The west island needs a homeless shelter.  There are so few places to bring homeless youth that AJOI is taking them as far away as Valleyfield.
