Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland is looking to expand its services into the Lansdowne area. We are in need of volunteers who live in Catonsville or Lansdowne and are willing to pick up meals at our Catonsville location to deliver to our clients in a friendly area of Lansdowne. We deliver Monday through Friday beginning at 11am. Deliveries take 90 minutes, and they make all the difference to our clients who rarely leave their homes and often have no family or friends to turn to for help. Delivery routes average 8 to 12 stops. Volunteers can help as little as once a month. Please e-mail or call to learn more.

To enable people to live independently at home through the provision of nutritious meals, personal contact, and related services.
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.
