Donate Now and Make a Difference in the Life of a Senior
The need for support services for seniors and caregivers is greater than ever. You can help.
Last year, the charitable programming operated by the Health and Home Care Society of BC (Care BC) had profound impact on the community.
Our Meals on Wheels (MOW) programs - Western and Chinese (CMOW) - served more than 126,700 meals to seniors at risk of isolation across Vancouver & Richmond. More than half (53%) of our MOW clients are aged 80 or older. 61% of our MOW clients report living alone. |
Our Family Respite Centre (FRC) offers temporary care for seniors and people with cognitive or physical impairment while their caregivers get a much-needed break from their responsibilities. Last year, our Overnight Respite Program saw more than 3,650 overnight stays, and our Adult Day Program hosted more than 3,860 visits. (Individual clients may benefit from multiple visits to either program)
Our Community Integration Project (CIP) continues to support people with newly acquired disabilities transition from rehabilitation back to their community with temporary housing at two fully-accessible apartments at St. George’s Place (near Vancouver Hospital); each is available for up to 6 months. Since 1999, a total of 132 individuals, including some family members, have been supported by the CIP.

Honour Your Loved Ones by donating in the name of a loved one to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion. You can also make an 'in memoriam' gift to honour someone who has passed away. We can acknowledge your gift to anyone you specify.

Make regular donations through Monthly Giving. Pre-authorizing a monthly gift from your credit card is a safe and efficient way to donate. Monthly giving reduces administrative and postage costs, which means more of your donation can be put into our charitable community programs.
