The purpose of the program is to provide nutritious meals to seniors in a friendly and caring environment and provide a place to encourage social interaction between all members of the community. The 55+ meal program operates with a large volunteer component and a roster of mostly senior volunteers. Some special dinners require the advance purchase of a ticket. Pay as you go or purchase a punch card, meals are provided at a low cost due to a subsidy provided by the Vancouver Island Health Authority. Make friends or bring along your own for a three course meal.
Ordering notes: We aim to have our menu for the next month out by the 10th of each month and we kindly ask that meal orders are submitted by the 20th of each month. This gives us lots of time to get orders entered and numbers submitted to the kitchen staff for food ordering etc. We always do our best to ensure every one that orders a meal gets a meal, however, if a meal order is submitted after the numbers have been given to the kitchen you may be put in the waitlist/cancellation list.
