The recent COVID-19 pandemic has shaken not only the London-Middlesex region, but the world at large. In these dire circumstances we are driven more than ever to help the London-Middlesex community. Our organization has started key initiatives and partnered with several charity organizations to help keep our community and healthcare workers safe.

Grocery Initiative
The Grocery Initiative is a new way that ASPIRE is helping those in the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this program, volunteers will pick up and deliver groceries to the elderly and other high-risk groups in the London/Windsor areas. The volunteers will receive a grocery list from a person in need, go and purchase the groceries, and drop off those groceries at the individual’s house. Volunteers will be matched with a person in the community and will only be expected to deliver groceries once per week at the most.
If you or someone you know is elderly or at high-risk of contracting COVID-19 and would like a grocery pick-up, please email us at aspirecliniclondon@gmail.com
Gown PPE Delivery
With the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a marked shortage of PPE available for members of the healthcare community. As a result, ASPIRE is partnering with Canada Sews and London-Middlesex Primary Care Alliance to provide healthcare workers in London, ON with gown PPE made by local sewers. Gowns are provided free of charge, and are currently being delivered to primary care facilities including medical centres, dentistries, long-term care homes, pharmacies, midwives, and emergency shelters.
Gown orders can be placed via the following order form: https://forms.gle/pvd9zYszuT24nYBg7
