The Meals on Wheels (MOW) programs - both Western and Chinese - are operating weekdays, Monday through Friday.
​Some deliveries were temporarily suspended while new volunteers were being recruited and oriented during the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. We strongly recommend that all of our MOW clients order additional 
frozen meals and have available in their homes canned food or non-perishable items in case of disruptions to our delivery schedules.

Meals on Wheels - Serving Vancouver and Richmond since 1967

Since 1967, the Health and Home Care Society of BC has operated the Meals on Wheels program in Vancouver and Richmond. Our program also includes a Chinese Meals on Wheels service, delivered by Chinese-speaking volunteers, which was launched in 1996. Every weekday between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., our volunteers provide more than 400 meals and friendly visits to home-bound people, including:

  • seniors
  • caregivers
  • individuals with chronic or acute medical conditions
  • individuals recovering from surgery, illness or injury

 In addition to providing a hot meal, volunteers also offer the comfort of a friendly visit and the reassurance of an informal check on the safety and well-being of meal recipients.

Western Meals on Wheels are prepared by Mava Foods and offer regular or minced, red meat or non-red meat options and include soup and dessert. We also offer sandwiches and a variety of frozen meals.

Chinese Meals on Wheels are prepared by: 
  • S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Simon K.Y. Lee Seniors Care Home, Vancouver
  • S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Austin Harris Residence, Richmond
  • Continental Seafood Restaurant, Richmond.
Meals include either fish, pork, chicken or tofu, Chinese tonic soup, steamed rice, and do not contain MSG. All three kitchens produce the same meals; the meal provider selected for each client is based on location.

*As of May 2021, Care BC has also assumed responsibility for the operation of the North Shore Meals on Wheels program.

For more information please contact:
Western Meals on Wheels - Vancouver and Richmond residents: (604) 732-7638 or wmow@carebc.ca
Chinese Meals on Wheels  - Vancouver and Richmond residents: (service in Chinese or English): (604) 733-6615 or cmow@carebc.ca


North Shore Meals on Wheels (for residents of the North Shore) can contact 604-922-3414 or northshoremow@telus.net and/or refer to northshoremealsonwheels.org for more information.

The need continues to grow:
  • The number of people who need assistance with daily living will increase dramatically as the population ages.
  • Last year, we delivered more than 125,000 Western and Chinese meals to isolated Vancouver and Richmond residents.
