Prepare a Packaged Meal 

Help A Loving Spoonful prepare and package a meal! Volunteers will portion out meals (such as mashed potatoes with vegetables and chicken breast or a pasta dish), professionally seal the packages, then label and divide the meals into crates to be frozen. Frozen meals that are microwaveable are a huge benefit to individuals living in low income housing as they may not have more than a microwave or a hot plate. There is less waste with frozen meals and they are also very easy for people with low mobility to prepare.

A Loving Spoonful is a volunteer-driven, not-for-profit organization that provides free, nutritious meals to people living with HIV and co-existing illness in Metro Vancouver and the surrounding areas. The past couple of years they have grown as an organization and are now making their own meals at a local kitchen, and packaging them into individual containers to freeze at their warehouse at 1449 Powell Street. A Loving Spoonful also supports various low income housing initiatives by providing subsidized meals.
