Volunteering With A Loving Spoonful 

At iATS Payments, we treasure the power of volunteering! It's our chance to break free from the daily grind and embark on an exciting journey of community connection.

Our team recently had the pleasure of volunteering at A Loving Spoonful, where we got the opportunity to learn about the center while giving a helping hand. A loving spoonful started in 1989, sprung from nothing more than Easter Armas’s determination that no one living with AIDS should live with hunger. November 1989 marked the first of many Easter’s Sundays, monthly dinners held at McLaren House for people living with HIV/AIDS. Each meal was lovingly prepared by volunteers. It was the first meal program in Canada to provide free meals for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Woodview's roots date back to 1853 when the sisters of St. Joseph recognized and fulfilled a need for homes in which to care for, clothe, feed, and support orphans. Woodview has continued in the same vein by recognizing the needs of the communities we serve and responding to them by providing best-in-practice support and services.
