Do you have a passion for cycling? Do you want to support your community's seniors and home bound individuals? Join Meals on Two Wheels, and you can do both!
Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland is looking for active volunteers in Baltimore City for this program. By delivering meals to seniors in your community from your bicycle, you can stay in shape and provide seniors with the nutrition they need but may not have access to.
All delivery routes are cyclist friendly; deliver in the morning or even during your lunch hour. You can deliver as often as your like or just once a month! Plus, we can help you configure your bike for deliveries.

Description
Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland provides two nutritious meals daily to homebound persons living in Baltimore City and Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Carroll, Harford, Montgomery, Pronce George's, and Howard Counties. Volunteers provide friendly and compassionate meal delivery service to our clients. Related services include grocery shopping, pet food, and phone call programs.
What does homebound mean? Our clients are unable to prepare meals or shop for themselves. Most of clients are elderly. Other clients may be disabled, ill or recovering from major medical procedures.
Are there income restrictions on service? No. Anyone who meets the definition of homebound may be eligible for service.
Is meal service free? Some clients do receive free meal service, however most clients pay a small fee. We determine how much our clients pay by assesing all forms of income.
Why do we rely on volunteers? Since it's start in 1960, Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland has been a volunteer supported agency. Volunteers truly provide the heart of our agency. They really care about what they do and support our mission. Without our volunteers, paid staff would deliver over 3,000 meals a day! This would make our services more costly and less personal.
