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!

Meals on Wheels
Operated by Care BC, Meals on Wheels has been delivering hot, nutritious meals and social interaction to isolated Vancouver and Richmond residents since 1967. In 1996, Care BC launched the first ever Chinese Meals on Wheels program in Canada, and the province’s first Meals on Bikes program in 2007. In 2010 alone, 100,119 meals were served in Vancouver and Richmond, and this need continues to grow.
