Make A Difference in Our Community
Volunteers are the cornerstone of Meals on Wheels and we are always looking for new volunteers to join our team, whether it’s on a weekly or relief basis. Without our dedicated group of volunteers, our important community service would not be possible!
We require that our volunteers have excellent interpersonal skills, are compassionate and sensitive to the needs of seniors and those who are disabled or homebound. Volunteers need to be able to work with a minimum of supervision, and able to accept direction and guidance. We ask our driver’s to arrive at our location between 9:30-10am and return the delivery supplies to our location following completion of deliveries, typically between 12:30-1pm.
Drivers must possess a valid Class 5 Canadian driver’s license. Being able to read and follow English as well as having working knowledge of GPS are great assets for this position. Volunteers are asked to record their mileage and will be reimbursed $0.80 per kilometer travelled for vehicle expenses on a quarterly basis.

Our charitable organization CANNOT operate without our committed volunteers! Our volunteers deliver fresh, nutritious meals to the most vulnerable residents – elderly, disabled, health-compromised, homebound, and those recovering from surgery – of Surrey and North Delta, Monday through Friday. They dedicate their time to our community and with soaring gas prices in BC, their money too!
As a result of the soaring gas prices, we have increased the amount of mileage we pay to our volunteers, bringing our projected total for the year to $35,000+. As with most charitable organizations, donations from the community are vital to covering such costs.
DONATE TODAY! Donations made to this fund will allow us to continue operating and serving the vulnerable residents of Surrey and North Delta, keeping the community healthy and strong. We have operated in Surrey since 1970 and with your help, we hope to be here for the community for another 50+ years. Thank you for your consideration and support, your donations are greatly appreciated!
