Opportunity Details

Volunteer opportunities every Monday and Wednesday, from 10:00am to 1:45pm.

Make time for few hours of FUN with our 'social club’ for seniors with memory loss or other cognitive decline! Spend time:
- Playing brain games and doing puzzles,
- Working on arts and crafts,
- Cheering along with light physical activities,
- Singing and dancing during music therapy, and
- Reminiscing and sharing stories and jokes.

Depending on your interests, you can also help with meal preparation, serving and/or clean-up, or helping plan other games and activities to help stimulate, engage and improve the quality of life of those living with Alzheimer's or dementia. (Occasional musical performances, visits by small children groups or certified therapy animals, and other special guests / activities are also welcome!)

Volunteering with Respite Care Charleston doesn't require medical expertise, a background working with seniors or any special skills really - just patience, a warm smile and a willingness to try and bring joy to others! Our programs are coordinated by full time staff with the support of program assistants, so you'll never have to worry about getting thrown in on your own. The ideal volunteer would be able / willing to work out a fairly consistent schedule with a minimum of one hour per visit, with at least one visit per month - simply so we're able to plan accordingly.

Did you know that that 58% of all food produced is wasted or lost, meanwhile, 1 in 5 households in British Columbia go hungry? Making matters worse, the emissions from decomposing organic waste in Canadian landfills currently account for 20% of national methane emissions.

Vancouver Food Runners is seeking volunteer food drivers (Food Rescue Heroes!) to join our network of passionate volunteer drivers. You will pick up excess perishable food from a community donor (bakery, green grocer or restaurant) and distribute it to those who need it most. We have partnered with charitable organizations such as the YWCA, local neighbourhood houses, shelters and schools to help put a stop to hunger right in our very own city.

How is Vancouver Food Runners different?

We use an app to coordinate food runs for our volunteers to access. Once a volunteer claims a food rescue, they can find their way to the donor and their final destination with the push of a button. Be a part of the solution by diverting viable food destined for the landfill and, instead, delivering it into the mouths of Vancouver’s most vulnerable and food insecure.

Join us in putting an end to hunger and bringing us closer to Zero Waste in our city. Download our app now to get started:
