interesting fact the other day when I looked at a fundraising prospectus: last year, the Beastie Boys were relatively important contributors to Santropol Roulant, a local Meals on Wheels service. Santropol Roulant is very cool – they’re based just up the street and take their name from one of my favourite restaurants in town, where I’ve been going for over a decade now. They are “intergenerational” which means that a specific part of their mandate is for young people to do the work – cooking, packaging, delivering, fundraising, etc. – delivering meals to the elderly. It’s almost poetic. And it’s one of the largest such services in the city.
