About Meals on Wheels by ACC

Location:

7375 Park City Drive, SACRAMENTO, CA 95831, US

Mission Statement

Meals on Wheels by ACC is a tax exempt non-profit organization established to serve seniors 60 years of age or better throughout Sacramento County. Meals on Wheels helps keep seniors in their homes and communities by providing nutritious meals, safety net services, social contact, community resource information and much more. On average, over 2,000 seniors participate in our program every weekday.

Description

Our program is in need of volunteer drivers. Volunteer drivers deliver meals to the homes of seniors who are home-bound due to illness, recovery, or disability. As a delivery driver, you are the direct contact between isolated seniors and the program. In addition to delivering nutritious meals, you can meet and socialize with seniors, brightening their day and helping them feel connected to their communities.

Volunteers use their own vehicles to pick up meals from one of five sites, and generally be available at least one day a week Monday through Friday between the hours of 9AM and Noon. Some afternoon routes are available. Pick-up sites for home-delivered meal routes are located in Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Rancho Cordova and on Harlin Drive near the Rosemont area. Training is provided, and drivers can request reimbursement for delivery route mileage. For more information, please call (916) 444-9533 or email volunteer@mowsac.org.
