Make a difference in the lives of seniors in your community!

Meals on Wheels drivers deliver nutritious meals to homebound seniors Monday-Friday for two hours between 11 am -1 pm. We serve seniors in 16 communities north and west of Boston.

Volunteer Meals on Wheels drivers usually commit to twice a month; others to once a week; a few drives more frequently.

As a Meals on Wheels driver, you do much more than deliver a meal -- you provide a friendly visit that brightens up the day of an homebound older adult. Drivers serve as our eyes and ears, often reporting health and well-being concerns before they become a crisis.

Meals on Wheels is perfect to do on your own or with a friend -- you can partner to share a route or deliver on alternate weeks. No matter how you choose to help, you will see many smiling, grateful faces among the seniors on your route.

Meals are delivered Monday - Friday.

Our offices are physically located in Bedford and our service area covers 16 communities including:

  • Acton
  • Arlington
  • Bedford
  • Boxboro
  • Burlington
