Debi O’Neill

Meals on Wheels Coordinator

Growing up in Bolton, when the population was just 5000 and there was just one grocery store, the experience of the ‘small town’ environment brought her back to raise her children over 25 years ago. The passion of helping people started at an early age. Over several years, Debi has volunteered with community projects, various church and community fundraising events, with a number of community service groups.

She joined Caledon Meals on Wheels as a weekly volunteer driver in 2012. This experience was much more than she anticipated. Hearing the grateful comments from clients, of the impact of her short visits & meal deliveries was life changing. Debi was a part of the amazing team of incredibly motivated & passionate people in 2014 in a bookkeeping and administrative support roll. She has returned to Caledon Meals on Wheels in the role of Meals Coordinator. This role allows her to continue her goal of making impactful changes in the lives of others. Debi is proud to (once again) be a part of this wonderfully caring and compassionate group of people that strive to provide many services as well as hot, fresh, delicious and nutritional meals for our aging population.
