Maple Ridge / Pitt Meadows Community Services is looking for local volunteers to help seniors in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, stay in their own homes. As of March 4, 2026, the organization is recruiting residents for several roles within the Better at Home program to provide support for older community members who need a hand with daily tasks.
The program specifically needs volunteer drivers to take seniors to medical appointments and grocery store trips. Residents who use their own vehicles to provide these rides will receive reimbursement for their mileage costs to ensure they are not out of pocket for helping their neighbours.
There is also an ongoing need for volunteers to help with yard work and basic repairs around the house. These volunteers are offered a payment, known as an honorarium, of $18 per hour to help seniors with simple maintenance tasks that have become difficult for them to manage alone.
The Better at Home program is funded by the Government of British Columbia and managed by United Way British Columbia. These non-medical services are designed to provide the stability seniors need to remain independent and avoid moving into care facilities prematurely.
