​Influenza Control Policy

To protect our vulnerable patients, residents and clients from influenza our volunteers will be required to either get the influenza vaccine or wear a mask by the first week of December.

The Ministry of Health has created a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document about the Influenza Control Program specifically for volunteers, which can be accessed here.

If you have had the flu shot please advise via e-mail or call 604-733-9177 ext.107.

Our clients say 'Thanks!'

​From time to time we receive notes from our grateful clients. Please see below for some of their thoughtful messages. And remember that Care BC thanks you too for all you do!
We had the opportunity to discuss the Meals on Wheels service in the Vancouver Sun, detailing the quality of the meals provided, the volunteer support for the program, and input from a Meals on Wheels client. Special thanks to the volunteers at the kitchen when we arrived to take photos!
