Meal Delivery Volunteer
Jeff, a current volunteer, out delivering meals to clients.

Mobile Meals of Toledo is currently seeking volunteers who are able to use their own vehicle to deliver meals a couple times each month. Delivering meals is a direct service opportunity that will allow the volunteer to see first hand the impact they are having in the community!

  • Meals are delivered on Tuesdays and Fridays around the lunch hour. No weekend or evening deliveries.
  • Meals are picked up between 10 AM and 11:30 AM.
  • Each delivery route takes approximately an hour to an hour and a half to complete.
  • Volunteers use a tablet or their own device with our mobile app (provided by Mobile Meals) during the delivery process.
  • We have five pick up sites around Lucas County for the volunteers convenience.
  • We service Lucas County, Ottawa County and Fulton County as well as Monroe County in Michigan.

About Mobile Meals of Toledo, Inc

Mission Statement

The mission of Mobile Meals of Toledo, Inc. is to help our clients sustain independence and enhance their quality of life by delivering nutritious food right to their home.

Description

Through the help of volunteers, Mobile Meals of Toledo delivers meals to individuals with a medical need. This need may be long term or short term. And while the bulk of Mobile Meals' clients are seniors, age is not a deciding factor in whether someone is eligible for the home delivered meal service that Mobile Meals of Toledo provides. Individuals who volunteer with Mobile Meals may deliver meals to an elderly woman who is no longer able to stand for long periods of time or a young man who has been in an accident and needs to go through physical therapy before he has full function of his hands again. An additional part of the delivery program is that volunteers are able to build relationships and check in on the clients each time they deliver. This direct service allows indivdiuals to have instant feedback and see what a difference they make in the lives of the individuals they are serving.
