Be a Hero to a Neighbour in Need

The Health and Home Care Society of BC (also known as “Care BC”) has operated a Meals on Wheels (MOW) program in Vancouver since 1967.  Over our five decades of service to the community, the program has grown to serve the neighbouring communities of  Richmond and the North Shore; we also launched a Chinese MOW program in 1996 to meet the region’s changing demographics. 

Our MOW clients, many of whom are frail, homebound seniors at risk of isolation, receive a hot, nutritious meal and a brief friendly visit from our delivery volunteers. Sixty percent of our clients live alone, with no regular visitors connecting with them.
