Grocery Shopping:
This program has different variations depending on a client's particular needs, but the general idea is always the same: if a senior, due to health or mobility issues, can no longer shop for themselves, RCRG will do it for them and even deliver their groceries! This allows seniors to remain in their homes for as long as possible.
Senior Peer Counselling Program:
Trained volunteers - all seniors themselves - help guide older adults through times of emotional distress.
Community Action Ambassadors:
Older adult volunteers attend wellness clinics and community events as Community Action Ambassadors, where they provide information on healthy ageing, including mental health issues and the use of alcohol and drugs.
Virtual Friendly Visiting:
Support seniors in Richmond to remain independent and connected to their community. Virtual Friendly Visiting is non-medical in nature and is not a counselling service. Visits occur once a week on the phone, Facetime, Zoom, Skype, etc. The duration of the call depends on the client and volunteer.
Prepared Frozen Meals:
Delivery is made every Monday and Thursday. Orders need to be submitted the day before, by 2:00 PM. The cost is $5.50 per meal. Clients must order a minimum of 5 meals.
Please call 604-279-7020 or e-mail CDickson@rcrg.org for the menu. Clients must provide credit card information for payment of meals.
Prescription Pick-Up and Delivery:
Clients should first check with their pharmacy to see if a delivery service is available. If not, they can contact for assistance. Clients need to have ordered and paid for their prescription before arranging for pick-up/delivery. Please give advance notice for the pick-up of your prescription.
