Sponsor a Senior

What is the “Sponsor a Senior” Program?

Our Sponsor a Senior Program has been designed to help the most vulnerable members of our community receive the fresh, nutritious meals they need but canโ€™t afford! This is a meal subsidy program that allows us to supply desperately needed meals at a reduced cost.

Surrey-North Delta Meals on Wheels provides and delivers these meals, Monday to Friday, to those who are unable to prepare adequate meals for themselves. Many of the residents in our catchments who require our service โ€“ seniors, disabled, immunocompromised and others โ€“ cannot afford our meals and are in need of help from the community. Most of these vulnerable residents are living on pensions, disability and other low incomes and are having to choose whether to put a roof over their head or food in their stomachs due to inflation and high rent costs.

With this program, we make it easy for you to help one (or more) vulnerable members of our community receive these meals! See our campaign page on CanadaHelps.
