Meals on wheels is growing!

With summer just around the corner PDCSS’s need for Meals on Wheels drivers continues to grow. We’re hoping to find some volunteers who are able to drive to help us out with the increase.

For the summer we are increasing our monthly honorarium to 75$ a month to help offset the rising price of gas.

Volunteering with Meals on Wheels is a simple but meaningful way to make a difference in someone’s day and help contribute to the community.

If you’re interested in volunteering or would like more information, feel free to message us directly, call our office at 250-295-6666 or email us at [email protected], or even stop in at the office to inquire more about the role.

Help us keep the wheels turning on this program and our community cared for. 💙
