Volunteer to lend a caring hand to a group most in need of it. Seniors of Meals on Wheels by ACC are isolated, alone, fragile, and in need of a nutritious meal. Volunteers of this monthly delivery project, deliver a bag of shelf stable food to seniors to use during emergencies, as well as check-in with the seniors to ensure their safety in their homes. Participate in this fulfilling and heart warming project with you and your group to stay active in your community and brighten a senior's day!
This project requires at least 10-20 volunteers, half of whom are able and willing to drive their vehicles to deliver to senior's homes. Background check information needed through group or company (contact us for more information). A quick senior safety and CDA security training is provided upon arrival. Please be prepared for the many smiles you will see on seniors' faces upon deliveries.

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.
