We're looking for several people to volunteer with our Meals on Wheels program on Thursday, Dec. 28th! We welcome both individual volunteers and small groups.
For over 40 years, Union Settlement has provided Meals on Wheels to East Harlem's older residents that are often economically struggling and living alone. Our Meals on Wheels program currently serves approximately 450 homebound seniors each day.
Prior to the volunteer date, volunteers will be sent a short training video and brief quiz to help prepare them for participation with Meals on Wheels. Volunteers will help pack hot and cold meals and then join staff on deliveries where they will get to hand out meals to our clients and interact with the East Harlem community. Volunteers are not required to have a driver's license or own a car.
When: Thursday, December 28th from 9am to 1pm
Where: Jefferson Senior Center in East Harlem
Interested individuals or groups should email volunteers@unionsettlement.org with the subject line "Thursday, Dec. 28th Meals on Wheels Volunteer".

Description
Founded more than a century ago, the Settlement has built a strong tradition of responsiveness to community need - developing child health stations early in the century, advocating for equal opportunity in sanitation, public housing and education from its inception. During the Great Depression, the Settlement provided food and employment and hope to many destitute families, preparing them for a better future. The Settlement has grown to become one of the largest human service agencies in East Harlem, serving more than 12,000 individuals on a daily basis out of 16 community locations with essential services including child care, mental health, education, care for the elderly, HIV/Aids services, adult education and much more.
