North Shore Meals on Wheels (NS MOW)
Effective October 3rd, 2022, Care BC’s Western Meals on Wheels (WMOW) prices will increase. Please see below (under "General Information") for the current meal prices.
Why are the prices changing? Regrettably the rise in the cost of food and gas has increased the operating costs of the Meals on Wheels program.

The North Shore Meals on Wheels (NS MOW) program has continued to operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with increased safety precautions to protect both our clients and volunteers who deliver the meals.
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.
