You can help local seniors and their pets by volunteering just once every 3 months!
Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland is looking for a volunteer to join their Kibble Connection. We need a volunteer who can commit to picking up about 8 bags & 6 boxes of cat and dog food and then deliver the food along a predetermined route of about 4 clients in Baltimore (1 client in 21211 & 3 clients in 21215.) Pet food is picked up from the Maryland SPCA, 3300 Falls Rd.
This opportunity only takes a few hours every three months, and can be done on your own schedule on the weekends or in the evenings. These pet owners are typically disabled and need extra support to feed their pets, and they would be unable to do so without you!
Please contact Emily at volunteer@mowcm.org for more information.

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.
