Concerned Friends of Ontario Citizens in Care Facilities

The Limestone Century is an annual event operated by Cycle Kingston. Cycle Kingston, Inc., is a registered Canadian charitable organization and incorporated non-profit whose mandate is to provide safe cycling education and cycling skills training in Kingston, Ontario, so that citizens will gain competence and confidence, and will become empowered to choose cycling as a personal means of transportation. Cycling offers many benefits: health, well-being, environmental, economic, social, and more. The Limestone Century Bicycle Tour requires 3 - 4 months of planning, culminating the the ride on the 2nd Sunday of September each year. Funds raised support Cycle Kingston in their community cycling initiatives, and also supports operation of its social enterprises, Gear Up! Recycled Bicycles and Bicycle Valet Kingston. As a wholly volunteer-driven organization, we rely on volunteer service, support and energy.

Our mission is to provide a caring place where people in need can have access to a nutritious meal and find community social support. Martha’s Table is a community center within the social welfare network of the City of Kingston. Martha’s Table provides a unique home where respect, compassion, caring and social interaction can occur in an atmosphere of mutual support, with nutritious meals in comfortable dining facility. Martha’s Table provides opportunities for volunteers to give back, gain skills and make a meaningful contribution to the community. Serving over 150 meals daily, between the dining room, meal delivery and take out window there are many opportunities for volunteers to help. https://marthastable.ca/volunteer-sign-up/
