Make a difference in the lives of others by helping us bring hot and cold meals - and a warm smile - to those who need them! Our Meals on Wheels meal delivery program strives to help older adults age independently in the community in their own homes while addressing main concerns of hunger and loneliness in our aging population.
This opportunity is very flexible. You may choose to deliver meals weekly, biweekly, monthly, or as a fill-in when no other drivers are available. Meal deliveries take place M-F only. Volunteers are expected to arrive at the COA between 10:30am and 11:00am to review recipients/meals and pack up meals. for transport. There are two volunteer drivers each day; Each driver delivers to ~4 recipients (subject to change each day). Deliveries take about 45 minutes to complete. You will return insulated meal bags at the end of your route. We have a particular need for drivers during the summer months (June-August).
