Meal Program

Due to the pandemic, we redesigned our Meal Program and now offer online workshops and programs that encourage healthy eating, improving food security and food accessibility, as well as fostering connections among older adults. Seniors and their family members can join us from the comfort of their home via zoom for live concerts, nutrition programs, virtual cooking classes, and gardening workshops provided in collaboration with A Rocha Canada. All participants in our virtual cooking programs receive a free meal kit with an easy to follow recipe card and fresh ingredients delivered bi-weekly to their door by our volunteers. We also deliver nutritious frozen meals to those in need. Our Frozen Meal Delivery Program, in partnership with Kent Street Activity Centre in White Rock, has been enthusiastically received by seniors who are unable or prefer not to shop and cook for themselves. Meal deliveries would not be possible without our dedicated and hardworking volunteers who give countless kilometers and hours of their time to make sure seniors receive nutritious food. We could not do it without them! To inquire or to order please call Denisa at 604-531-9400 ext. 207.
