General Information
The North Shore Meals on Wheels Society operated Meals on Wheels on the North Shore from 1978 to 2021. As of May 2021, Care BC has also assumed responsibility for the operation of the North Shore Meals on Wheels program.
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 Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 11 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. Meals cost $8.00
