"Meals on Wheels has been a godsend." ❤️

One client recently shared: "Meals on Wheels has been a godsend while I've had a broken ankle. It's such a wonderful program and the meals are delicious. I don't know what I would have done without their help."

Stories like this remind us that Meals on Wheels is about more than delivering food. It's about helping people recover, remain independent, and stay connected to their community.

Thank you to everyone who makes this program possible.

What goes into every Meals on Wheels meal?

For the Blue Ivy Kitchen team, every meal begins with three priorities:
🥕 Fresh, high-quality ingredients
❤️ Balanced nutrition designed for seniors
✅ Strict food safety standards

From carefully selecting produce to packaging meals immediately after cooking and using heat packs to maintain temperature, every step is taken with quality and safety in mind. Because every client deserves a meal they can enjoy with confidence.

Meet the Team Behind Your Meals 🍽️

Every nutritious meal delivered through Western and North Shore Meals on Wheels is prepared with care by our partner, Blue Ivy Kitchen.

We recently sat down with Anthony, David, and Ming to learn about their passion for cooking, their commitment to food quality and safety, and what it means to serve seniors in our community.

For them, cooking is more than a profession—it's a way to care for others.

Stay tuned as we share highlights from our conversation over the coming weeks.

The Paul Myers and Shore Family Respite Centre Nears Completion

A new space for care, connection, and support is coming to life on the North Shore.

Recently, our team visited The Paul Myers and Shore Family Respite Centre (also known as NSFRC) to see the progress ahead of its opening. With construction complete, the NSFRC is now being transformed into a warm and welcoming environment for seniors and caregivers.

The NSFRC has been thoughtfully designed with seniors’ comfort and dignity in mind. Accessible features, including rooms for clients with higher support needs and a therapeutic bathing system, will help provide safe and supportive care for future guests.

Outside, the landscaped garden and garden therapy planters will offer future guests a peaceful space to enjoy nature and take part in gardening activities.

As we prepare for the opening of the NSFRC in the coming months, we look forward to offering a new respite service that supports seniors, caregivers, and our community.

Message from the CEO

On May 12, 2026, the Care BC Board of Directors and I met to develop the organization’s strategic plan. In recognition of our changing environment, Care BC updated its vision and mission.

As the needs of our aging population continue to grow and change, we have an opportunity to strengthen the services that help people live with dignity, independence, and connection.

The three areas of Care BC’s strategic focus are:
🍽️ Enhance Meals on Wheels
🏡 Develop Respite Care
❤️ Support Caregivers

The future of care is about creating hope, strengthening connections, and building communities where everyone feels supported.

Today is Canadian Multiculturalism Day, a time to celebrate the diversity of cultures, languages, and traditions that make our communities vibrant and strong.

Care BC has provided us opportunities to support seniors from many cultural backgrounds across British Columbia for over 100 years. Through programs like Meals on Wheels, we see every day how food, connection, and care can bring people together and help build a sense of belonging.

Today, we celebrate the many cultures that are part of Care BC’s community, and reaffirm our commitment to creating inclusive, caring spaces where everyone feels valued, respected, and connected.

Happy Canadian Multiculturalism Day!

June is National Indigenous History Month. It is a time to recognize and reflect on the rich cultures, traditions, and knowledge of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.
 
We are grateful for the opportunity to serve diverse communities and to continue learning from and honouring the histories and contributions of Indigenous Peoples.
 
We also acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Today is Giving Tuesday ♥️

Right now, many seniors in our community are struggling to access something most of us take for granted: a nutritious daily meal.

At Care BC, our Meals on Wheels program delivers healthy, ready-to-eat meals directly to seniors’ homes, along with a friendly check-in they can rely on.

But rising food and delivery costs are making it harder to meet growing needs.

A gift of $250 provides 100 nutritious meals for homebound seniors—delivered right to their
door.

For some seniors, this delivery is also their only daily check-in.

Your support today helps ensure no senior is left without food, care, or connection.

🦋 A momentous day at the Paul Myers and Shore Family Respite Centre.

On June 11th, a striking 1-ton butterfly sculpture by renowned Coast Salish artist Xwalacktun was installed — a powerful symbol of transformation and the spirit of all Coast Salish nations in this region.

Within its wings live the thunderbird and the wolf, tributes to the Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish nations, representing strength, leadership, and strong family ties — values at the heart of Care BC.

We are deeply grateful to Xwalacktun, our project partners, and Neptune Terminals for their generous donation that made this possible.

Seniors enrich our lives in countless ways with their wisdom, companionship, and contributions. They generously share life experiences, care for their families, participate in volunteer work, and offer warm support when we need it most.

At CareBC, we see every day that when older adults remain healthy, active, independent, and connected with one another, the entire community becomes better.

Through our Meals on Wheels program, the Paul Myers and Shore Family Respite Centre, and the Community Integration Project (CIP), seniors are able to enjoy a better quality of life. Their families gain greater peace of mind, and their communities benefit as a result.

Thank you to all seniors for your ongoing inspiration, guidance, and care.

Do you have a senior in your life whom you deeply respect? Feel free to share their story in the comments.
