VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
|
The Health and Home Care Society of BC (Care BC) offers innovative and unique programs to support seniors, people living with disabilities or recovering from injuries and other homebound individuals at risk of isolation.
Volunteers are the heart and soul of Care BC’s work and without the commitment and dedication of a caring team of volunteers, our vital programs would not be possible. For as little as a few hours a week or month, you can help us make a real difference in your community! |
Meals on Wheels (MOW) Volunteers
Volunteers provide isolated residents in Vancouver, Richmond and the North Shore, with hot meals, warm visits and informal checks on their safety every weekday through our MOW programs.
|
Meal Delivery Route Driver
Route drivers pick up meals from a depot then deliver hot meals directly to clients, providing a friendly visit and informal check on their safety. Shifts: Flexible; between 10:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m., Monday to Friday |

Meal Delivery by Bike (currently only Vancouver and Richmond)
As an organization, we pride ourselves on evolving with the needs of our community. To better serve our local community, we have a Meals on Bikes program available to our volunteers. By using bicycles instead of driving, we are reducing our gas emissions and as a result, reducing our environmental footprint. Biking is also better for the health of our volunteers. We are promoting good health and good fitness by adding this as an option for our servers. Bike volunteers pick up meals from a depot then deliver hot meals directly to clients, providing a friendly visit and informal check on their safety. We can offer support & advice for setting up your bike for deliveries. Shifts: Flexible; between 10:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m., Monday to Friday |
|
Kitchen Meal Courier
Kitchen Meal Couriers bring the meals in batches to assigned depots across Vancouver and Richmond and return the previous day’s empty meal bags back to the kitchen. Meal Couriers may also be asked to support packing the sealed meals into delivery bags at the kitchen. Shifts: Flexible; between 9:00-11:00 am |
We are always looking for spare drivers and servers! Do you work shifts or have a constantly changing schedule (due to shift-work, changing school schedules, etc.)? We are happy to work with volunteers who prefer to be available to work shifts as needed.
Volunteer with a friend while helping deliver Meals on Wheels! It's a great way to keep in touch while making a difference in your community!
