Mississauga firefighters are buying 500 smoke alarms for city residents who can t afford to buy the life-saving devices themselves. An $11,000 grant, received from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada, will be used to buy the combined smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, which will be distributed to clients of The Mississauga Food Bank who do not have working alarms in their homes.
Orangeville Firehouse Subs wants to help support local frontline workers with a nice lunch.
On Wednesday, the restaurant is donating a total of 60 boxed lunches to the nursing staff at local nursing homes.
Franchisee Jason Edgar says he is excited to celebrate.
Drop-offs will be done at Chartwell Retirement Home, Avalon Retirement Home, Bethsaida Retirement Home and Lord Center Retirement Home.
These meal donations will be made in partnership with the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada through their dedicated COVID-19 Disaster Relief Fund.
Wednesday is also International Nurses Day.
