Our Veterans of Foreign Wars Post needs volunteers to help deliver our Meals on Wheels route! You don’t have to be a veterans to help out and be part of the team! Our Meals on Wheels team is dedicated to providing seniors with the necessary nutritional support to protect them against food insecurity, and to help them continue to live independent and fulfilling lives. The Post Meals on Wheels Team does this 5 days a week!
Volunteering consists of route drivers and/or ride along persons. To drive a route only takes one hour a week! This is because the route is in the neighborhood of our Post! You will be matched with another Post member or patriot from the area who will ride with you and will go to the senior’s door and deliver the meals. You don't have to be a Post member or a veteran to participate in this worthy cause.
The availible routes are cordinatied by the Meals on Wheels staff ..we would like you to serve the West Fort Worth area if possible since that is where our VFW Post is located.
To find out more information ... call our Post Meals on Wheels contacts: Randall High 817.714.5100.
