Chinese Meals on Wheels (CMOW)
​Vancouver and Richmond

​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.

Care BC's Chinese  Meals on Wheels (Chinese MOW) program has continued to operate weekdays, Monday through Friday during the COVID-19 pandemic with increased safety precautions to protect both our clients and volunteers who deliver the meals.

General Information

Care BC launched one of Canada's first Chinese Meals on Wheels programs in 1996. We deliver hot, nutritious meals to seniors, caregivers, individuals with chronic or acute medical conditions, and/or people recovering from surgery, illness or injury. Meals are delivered by volunteers Monday to Friday between 10:30 am and 1 pm - our volunteers also provide a brief and informal safety check on clients with each delivery. There is no meal service on Statutory holidays.

Chinese MOW are prepared by: 
  • S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Simon K.Y. Lee Seniors Care Home, Vancouver
  • ​​Blue Ivy House, Vancouver
Meals cost $9.00 and include either fish, pork, chicken or tofu, Chinese tonic soup, steamed rice, and do not contain MSG. All kitchens produce the same meals; the meal provider selected for each client is based on location.
