At Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland, we strive each day to be "more than a meal." That means that our clients not only receive two nutritious meals daily, but they receive the love and support of their delivery volunteers!
We deliver Monday through Friday beginning at 11am. Deliveries take 60 to 90 minutes, and they make all the difference to these individuals who rarely leave their homes. Delivery routes average 8 to 12 stops within that timeframe.
We are looking specifically for volunteers who can deliver to the homebound in Central and East Baltimore. Volunteers would report to our Main Office at 515 S. Haven St. Volunteers can volunteer as often as they desire, or could even volunteer just once a month. Any help would be appreciated!
Please e-mail trotter@mowcm.org or call Volunteer Services at 443-573-0925 to learn more.

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.
