Volunteers arrive at the River Bend Manor Senior Center anytime between 10:30- 11:00 to check-in and then drive a short route lasting approximately 40-50 minutes.
Volnteers are often the only person these seniors see each day. So not only would you provide a nutritious hot meal, but also some quick personal attention and kindness. Each route has anywhere between 6-12 homes on it.
Our volunteers tell us that this is the most rewarding volunteer activity they have ever done. Our seniors tell us they look forward all day to the delicious meal, and to the kind friendly volunteer who delivers it!
You can volunteer for either driver or runner, or both! We have openings for every day of the work week. You can choose one day a week or every weekday. This is a great oppoprtunity for work, faith, or service groups as well. If you have a group, the group can share the route.

Description
Meals on Wheels Yolo County (People Resources, Inc.) has been providing a daily hot meal to seniors in Yolo County for over 40 years. Freshly prepared hot food is delivered to sites in Woodland, West Sacramento, Winters and Davis. There, about 2/3 of the bulk food is packaged for home delivery by volunteers. Seniors look forward to their meal and to the personal attention of a familiar visitor. The other 1/3 of the food is plated and served to seniors who travel to the 4 senior centers to socialize over lunch.
Our organization needs volunteers to deliver meals and a friendly smile each day to seniors, particularly in our most difficult to serve communities. We also need volunteers in other areas, such as clerical, helping us care for our fleet of delivery vehicles, helping in our five kitchens, etc.
