Aarya in a blue shirt smiling

In celebration of International Volunteer Day on December 5, we’re highlighting the inspiring journey of Aarya, who became the first volunteer with Food Services at University Hospital of Northern British Columbia (UHNBC), joining a brand-new program and helping build it from scratch.

UHNBC has an app called CBORD, which allows patients to order their meals for the next day. However, not everyone feels comfortable with new technology and that’s where Aarya and other volunteers can lend a hand.
