ORGANIZATION: Meals on Wheels by ACC

Meals on Wheels by ACC delivers more than 1,500 meals a day to home bound seniors in Sacramento and Western Placer County. Our program aims to end senior hunger and promote the general welfare and quality of life of older adults. We do this by providing nutritious lunches and a friendly visit to seniors who are isolated, live alone, and are unable to access healthy meals on their own. This is all accomplished through the dedication and good will of volunteers like you.

We are currently expanding our services in the cities of Elk Grove and are in need of volunteer drivers to help make a difference in these communities. For more information or to sign up to be a volunteer driver and deliver meals to seniors who could use your help, please contact Volunteer Services at (916)444-9533x160 or email volunteer@mowsac.org

So Sacramento, what's for lunch today?

Mission Statement

Meals on Wheels by ACC is a tax exempt non-profit organization established to serve seniors 60 years of age or better throughout Sacramento County. Meals on Wheels helps keep seniors in their homes and communities by providing nutritious meals, safety net services, social contact, community resource information and much more. On average, over 2,000 seniors participate in our program every weekday.

Description

Our program is in need of volunteer drivers. Volunteer drivers deliver meals to the homes of seniors who are home-bound due to illness, recovery, or disability. As a delivery driver, you are the direct contact between isolated seniors and the program. In addition to delivering nutritious meals, you can meet and socialize with seniors, brightening their day and helping them feel connected to their communities.

Volunteers use their own vehicles to pick up meals from one of five sites, and generally be available at least one day a week Monday through Friday between the hours of 9AM and Noon. Some afternoon routes are available. Pick-up sites for home-delivered meal routes are located in Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Rancho Cordova and on Harlin Drive near the Rosemont area. Training is provided, and drivers can request reimbursement for delivery route mileage. For more information, please call (916) 444-9533 or email volunteer@mowsac.org.
