VOLUNTEER PROFILES

Without our dedicated volunteers, we couldn't do the work that we do. They show up rain or shine (or snow!) and make sure that Meals on Wheels get delivered to the people who need them. We can't say enough about the amazing work our volunteers do and we wanted to share just a few profiles of all the different people who help make Meals on Wheels a success. Thank you volunteers for your commitment!

Picture
For over 50 years Leonard gave back to the Vancouver community.  Now, often not leaving the comfort of his home, he relies on Meals on Wheels for a hot meal, a social visit and a check on his well-being.

Leonard was born in Shanghai, where he attended Cathedral School for Boys  and later was interned in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp at Santo Tomas University during WWII in Manila, PH. Following liberation, he and his mother moved to Victoria, BC. Here, he worked at places such as Spencer’s and the Pacific Club before landing work at the new CBC television operation in Vancouver in the 1960s.

50 多年來,Leonard 熱心奉獻於溫哥華社區。現在他經常足不出戶,只靠 Meals on Wheels 的送餐服務,他就能享用一頓營養均衡的熱午餐,並有義工友善探訪及確認他的一切安好。

Leonard 出生於上海。 在二戰其間, 他曾受雇於菲律賓馬尼拉的日本戰俘營。 解放後,他和他的母親遷居到卑斯省的維多利亞,  並在斯賓塞和太平洋俱樂部工作。 其後 他在1960 年任職於溫哥華CBC電視台。
