Healthy Me, Leejay Levene
“In one of his songs, Raffi, one of my favourite children’s songwriters, wrote “All I really
need is a song in my heart, food in my belly, and love in my family”. Eloquently but simply,
Raffi is saying that to be a Healthy Me you really need a blend of an upbeat, can do spirit
whose life dreams are nurtured both physically and emotionally by one’s family and friends.
As Leejay’s uncle, I witnessed Leejay’s Healthy Me attitude throughout his life. Meals on
Wheels, for whom my mother Bernice volunteered for many years in Toronto, provides this
same nourishment for many like Leejay who still have important songs to sing.”
Steven Singer

“It’s amazing to me that
Leejay’s art continues to
inspire on so many levels.
Through the dedication of his
family, this little red car will
help deliver many Meals on
Wheels for the community
in which he is still a driving

“Although I never met
Leejay personally…I feel
a strong connection to
him through his family and
because of the legacy and
the gift of his art.
It is a testament to the spirit
of Leejay that his artwork
can help contribute to such
a worthwhile cause like
Meals on Wheels.
I share a huge love of cats
with Leejay….and I love this
playful picture.
Although C is indeed for
carrot…my guess is that the
carrot in this picture was
likely spared in favour of a
cat treat…”

After Paul Cezanne, Leejay Levene (date)
“There is something magical that happens when people sit down to share a
meal. Food is a common denominator that breaks the ice and connects us
despite our differences. Leejay’s art is much the same, connecting communities
to charities that will benefit from his talents for years to come. Whether we are
breaking bread or consuming art, we nourish our minds, bodies and souls.
Thank you Leejay for this gift.”

“Garfield is honored to be the
subject of the Leejay Levene
work of art featured in this
calendar. Leejay obviously
had a fine grasp of color and
composition – the subtle use of
the word “bacon” also proves
the artist had a keen knowledge
of his subject.
How fitting then that the
purchase of this calendar
benefits Meals on Wheels. In
Garfield’s book, that’s a perfect
circle and I think Leejay would
approve.”

“As a journalist
covering stories
around the world--in
conflict zones, and
after natural disasters-
-I’m often reminded
of how good we have
it here at home in
Canada. How we
help and reach out
to our friends, our
neighbours, even
strangers. Meals on
Wheels showcases
this with each and
every meal it provides.
Delicious, nutritious
food certainly can put
a smile on your face,
no matter where you

“Leejay’s drawing is a
reminder that the season
of festive dinners with
friends and family is
upon us. The countless
volunteers at Meals on
wheels work tirelessly at
this time of the year to
ensure that loved ones
can enjoy these occasions
from the comfort of their
own home. Leejay’s
legacy lives on in the work
of these volunteers who
care for their neighbours
and help make Canada a
better place for us all.”
Mrs. Laureen Harper
Scharf Realty has been delivering Meals on Wheels with CSC’s Adopt a Route
program for the past 25 years. The Adopt a Route program matches community
minded buissness with a Meals on Wheels route. Their team can deliver during
lunch, helping up to eight people in just one hour!
“Most of us spend a lifetime
searching for a passion. If you
are lucky you discover that passion
early. We are extremely lucky that
Leejay found his passion and it’s
now shared with all of us.
His joy and talent is evident in
every work and with “E is for Ed
the elk that likes eggs” his sense of
humour shines through. Elks don’t
eat eggs? Tell that to an artist.”
Rick Mercer

Eloquently but simply, Raffi is saying that to be a Healthy Me you really need a blend of an upbeat, can do spirit whose life dreams are nurtured both physically and emotionally by one’s family and friends. As Leejay’s uncle, I witnessed Leejay’s Healthy Me attitude throughout his life. Meals on Wheels, for whom my mother Bernice volunteered for many years in Toronto, provides this same nourishment for many like Leejay who still have important songs to sing.” Steven Singer Beechwood Produce Stand Each Meals on Wheels meal made contains the recommended nutritional intake for a 70-year-old male.
