When a child is in treatment, getting dinner on the table can be a real challenge. West Coast Kids Cancer Foundation provides nourishing meals to families at the hospital and at home at no cost.
Food at the Hospital
WCK has a dedicated freezer in the Family Lounge on the 8th floor of BC Children's Hospital. It is filled weekly with nourishing meals - please help yourself!
We deliver up to 200 nourishing, easy-to-heat meals every week to keep the freezer well stocked for inpatient families. Snacks are also available in the oncology clinic.
TD Bank Group has filled the freezer for a month!
We are so grateful to TD for making sure the freezer is filled for the next month! If you are in the hospital or the oncology clinic, please help yourself.
