​Thanks to our AM 1320 Radio Station for giving us the opportunity to chat with 5 of our Chinese Meals on Wheels volunteers, who shared their delivery experiences at the end of last month. We also thank all our volunteers for their selfless support of our Meals on Wheels programs (Western and Chinese), helping to make this cold winter a little warmer! Stay tuned for video and audio clips from the day which we'll share soon.
Today is Giving Tuesday! We hope you'll consider joining the global movement dedicated to giving back to the community by giving your time as a volunteer, making a financial donation to support our charitable programming, or by considering a legacy or bequest in your will. Thank you to all our volunteers, supporters and donors who have helped us maintain our tradition of caring since 1898.

At the Corporation of the City of North Vancouver’s Regular Council Meeting on May 27, 2019, the previously Closed Resolution regarding "Non-Market Housing Opportunity on City-Owned Site (200 Block East 1st Street)" was released and the following recommendation was approved: 
That a significant non-profit housing component be incorporated into the North Shore Neighbourhood House Feasibility study and that this be explored in partnership with Hollyburn Family Services, Catalyst Community Housing Society, and Care BC.

Care BC is very pleased that a Respite Centre (with an integrated Adult Day Program and Overnight Respite, similar to our current Family Respite Centre) to support North Shore caregivers “to get a much-needed break” will be included in this study. 
We have an urgent need for Chinese-speaking Meals on Wheels volunteers to help deliver meals to isolated seniors in your community across Vancouver and Richmond. If you are available weekdays from 10 am – 1 pm, please give us a call. Volunteers do not need a car - you can be paired with a driver - and we can accommodate flexible schedules if you aren't available every day. If you've thought about volunteering before, please give us a call to learn more （604）733-9177 ext. 107.
Fraud Alert: Please be advised, we received a report that a person approached a Meals on Wheels client wanting to collect payment on an outstanding invoice. Care BC DOES NOT collect Meals on Wheels payments at clients' homes. Our volunteers (for their own safety) are NOT ALLOWED to accept payments. Invoices can be paid at our office, by phone or by mail. If anyone approaches you at your home for bill payment, call 9-1-1. Please also inform our offices of any suspicious behaviour.
