Resources for Volunteers
January 2023:
Hello Meals on Wheels Volunteers:
Happy New Year!
Please remember to submit your 2022 mileage reimbursement forms (found below, under "Quick Links") by Jan. 31, 2023.
Thanks for staying safe and healthy (for yourselves and our clients)! As a reminder:
Proof of double vaccination for COVID -19 is still required for all new MOW volunteers (Vancouver Coastal Health recognizes Care BC as a health services provider because we support vulnerable clients).
Wearing a mask and physical distancing is no longer required, but highly recommended. Washing your hands and/or using hand sanitizer between each delivery is highly recommended. We have hand sanitizer supplies available if needed.
Please stay home if you are feeling unwell. Do not volunteer (or visit our office) when you are not feeling well. Please let the office know ASAP when a replacement is needed for your route.
