Volunteering with us will ensure you feel good while doing good. Come be a volunteer and deliver a hot, nutritious meal to homebound seniors right here in our communities.

We currently serve upwards of 300 home bound seniors ranging from Delray Beach to Jupiter/Tequesta.

Deliveries start approximately 10:00 AM and we deliver on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. A route contains between 8-14 homes and completing a route takes anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the area. Volunteers commit to one day per week OR as a substitute on-call basis.

  • The area where you would like to deliver (Lantana Road north to Tequesta or in Delray Beach)
  • The day of the week (Monday/Wednesday/Friday)
  • If you're looking for permanent placement or as a substitute
Currently we need delivery volunteers in the Lake Worth area, Delray Beach, North Palm Beach and Century Village (WPB).

Mission Statement

To nourish and enrich the lives of homebound seniors with compassion and love.

Description

MOWPB’s program is designed to address the needs of America’s most vulnerable senior population, the homebound, by delivering a meal and so much more. Our mission is centered on providing three life essentials: (1) nutritious well-balanced meals, (2) a friendly hello and smile to encourage companionship and ease isolation and (3) a watchful eye on the safety and health of our seniors. Our kitchen volunteers plate freshly cooked meals each morning, Monday through Friday. Our delivery volunteers are bringing a smile along with the meals 3 days a week (our COVID-19 schedule). Our three-part platform ensures homebound seniors have access to adequate nutrition, human connection, and emergency medical attention when necessary. All too often, these essentials are lost when homebound seniors live alone. Volunteers are the wheels beneath our meals and keep our program in motion.
