Dec. 1, 2022: Thank you!
We asked you to step up and you did not disappoint! With your help we raised over $6,300 this Giving Tuesday for Care BC’s Meals on Wheels programs in Vancouver, Richmond and the North Shore (even more than we raised on Giving Tuesday 2021!). This amount will support the cost of 3,150 meals for vulnerable seniors this Holiday Season. It takes a village and we could not keep this program going without your help. It you have yet to donate, it’s not too late! And if you’d like to help more, please consider volunteering for Meals On Wheels! We remind our Meals on Wheels clients to have extra non-perishable or frozen food on hand in case of snowy conditions when deliveries may be delayed or cancelled. Any clients who are affected will be contacted directly. We are extremely grateful for the help we receive from our volunteers who make deliveries in the snow, but we are also very concerned for their safety as well, which is why some routes may have to be cancelled in poor conditions.
Detailed planning for the building is currently underway and it is anticipated construction could begin this fall or in the early winter of 2023 and be completed 22–24 months later. Care BC’s Foundation has raised about one half of the capital funding required for this project. For more information, visit our fundraising campaign website, www.becauseyoucarebc.ca.
