Thanks for your help Wendi!

Wendi recently joined our volunteer team delivering Meals on Wheels to seniors in Kitsilano. Wendi’s work as a guide in the travel industry folded with the COVID 19 pandemic and led her to Care BC’s program. A friend had pointed her to a call for volunteers in the paper and she was joined the team almost immediately afterwards.

It’s been about 4 months since Wendi has joined and she is enjoying her clients who sometimes share stories from their fascinating lives -from eco-projects protecting whales to medical practices in Africa; other clients are just warming up to a conversation.

Wendi says the Care BC team have been accommodating and supportive –answering any questions they can during the learning curve. The process is organized and the commitment is not onerous. It’s a contribution to society that allows vulnerable people to stay in their home and have both healthy meals and human contact.

​Wendi’s mom, 96 years young, delivered Meals on Wheels in the 1960’s on the other side of the country - she is proud to carry on this family tradition.

    Volunteer Profiles:
    Anyone Can be a Volunteer!

    Without our dedicated volunteers, we couldn't do the work we do. They show up rain or shine (or snow!) and make sure that Meals on Wheels get delivered to the people who need them. We can't say enough about the amazing work they do and we wanted to share just a few profiles of all the different people who help make Meals on Wheels a success. Thank you volunteers for your commitment!
