Do you have a few hours to help seniors on Thanksgiving morning? Start your day off right by being a part of Volunteer Action for Aging's 23rd Annual Thanksgiving Meal Delivery Event! Volunteers are needed to share a brief visit and deliver meals to over 2,000 homebound seniors throughout Long Beach and Los Angeles County. Meal pick-ups originate at the SCAN office parking lot in Long Beach. Volunteers pick up meals for 3-5 seniors. Then you are off to deliver your meals and have a brief visit with the senior.
