Meals on Wheels
Meals on Wheels Coordinator: Jen Sibley, 604.793.7242, Email, [email protected]
Home delivery of fresh or frozen nutritious meals to individuals who, because of age, illness or disability, cannot prepare adequate meals for themselves. Individuals remain in the comfort and familiarity of their home, avoiding the stress of moving to a facility.
Our funding partner is BC Ministry of Health for the Fraser Region, and we are supported through fees for service and fundraising donations.

We recommend all clients keep a supply of at least 7 meals in the freezer in case of service interruptions.
