COVID-19 precautions:

*Please note, this is not a remote opportunity. Volunteering takes place in our downtown Minneapolis office.

In addition to other safety precautions, we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and make adjustments to our plans as necessary. Masks will be required while in the office. Volunteers will be working in an individual, separated office space that will be routinely cleaned and sanitized. We will also be lenient in scheduling and ask anyone who is not feeling well, or who has been exposed to COVID-19, to stay home. The safety of our volunteers, clients, and staff is our number one priority. Please email Madisen at Madisen@meals-on-wheels.com for more information about safety precautions.
