Cookin’ for 25 Years

The volunteers are really cookin’ now. Always working hard, committed to the goal of helping seniors to stay living at home, Prince Edward Community Care’s volunteers put their pens to paper and provided their most loved recipes for a cook book to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the agency. To mark this grand and memorable occasion, Community Care for Seniors is launching its first cook book. This cook book is a delight to all who read it and a real frolic for all who venture to try the recipes. Many of the recipes are handed down through families. Some of them are newly created and all are truly unique in their composition. The recipes were submitted by volunteers, many of whom are descendants from various European and Caribbean countries. The result is a flavourful blend of culture and cuisine.

Chair of the cook book development committee, Joseph Sahadat says “today we take up the challenge to reach you and others to make this significant milestone a part of our heritage.” The cook book is a fundraising initiative and only a limited number have been printed. Selling for only $10.00 each the books are available at Community Care’s Thrift Shop, 281 Main Street in Picton, at the office in The Armoury, or at the Wellington office (on Tuesdays), 271 Main Street in Wellington.

The Prince Edward County Community Care for Seniors 25th Anniversary cook book presents an innovative blend of dishes, a love for spices and a yearning to dine. Bon Appetite.

The Prince Edward County Community Care for Seniors Association provides a range of programs for seniors including Meals on Wheels and services such as transportation to medical and other appointments, Seniors’ Dinners in several locations, foot care clinics in Picton and Wellington, completion of Income Tax, and assistance with other forms.

The main office is located in The Armoury, 206 Main Street in Picton. An office in Wellington is open each Tuesday at 271 Main Street. Call 476-7493 for more information or to order a cook book.
