Members of the Tibetan Canadian Culture Center (TCCC) in partnership with Himalayan Kitchen, at 1526 Queen St. W., were handing out 233 hot lunch boxes on May 19 to those in need at the E.W. Bickle Centre for Complex Continuing Care, on 130 Dunn Ave., in the City’s west end.

“This is a small way by our community to thank our frontline Healthcare Heroes for their commitment and hardwork during these unprecedented times,” says TCCC president Tsering Wangyal. “We are all in this together and we all have to come together to show our kindness.”

The group thanked the frontline staff and were appreciative of the work they do to help the community.

The Bickle Centre provides palliative care for patients and have an interdisciplinary team that addresses areas as pain management, symptom control, physical comfort and emotional, psychological and spiritual needs.

Members of the TCCC plan to deliver on May 22 some 150 hot meals to the Eatonville Care Centre, with almost 250 residents; and 275 meals on May 24 to residents of Kensington Gardens, a non-profit, long-term care home in the heart of Kensington Market, which offers 24-hour care, programs and services for the 350 residents and their families.

The TCCC has also been raising funds to make more food, dozens of masks and headgear, which are available at their 40 Titan Rd. centre. Donations can also be made online at tcccgc.org.
