  • 2 people are interested

Food is essential. And in economically challenging times, access to food becomes more difficult for vulnerable populations.

Right now, many seniors in our community are staying home due to Covid-19 and the delta variant. We need volunteers who can pick up and deliver meals to seniors once a week from the senior dining site a First Baptist Church in Weaverville.

That's where you come in.

Who are you?

  • A physically able person* with a clean driving record
  • You're non-judgemental and compassionate
  • You care about seniors and want to support those who need help most
  • A resident of Buncombe County, NC, or nearby town

Who are we?

  • The Council on Aging of Buncombe County was formed in 1964 to address the needs of seniors in our community
  • We provide essential support to people over 60 who need assistance with food, heat or a/c, and health care
  • Our volunteers make this work possible-- consider joining us today!


If you want to help make a difference in the lives of real people right here in western North Carolina, we would love to welcome you onboard as a volunteer.

The safety of our clients is our highest priority. Here's what's required for this role:

  • Clear criminal background check and driving record
  • Minimum $100,000/300,000 in auto liability coverage
  • Orientation and training with the Council on Aging
  • A reliable vehicle that will pass NC safety inspection

Still interested? Contact us today!

*Some deliveries require navigation up and down steep driveways and around obstacles such as potholes and loose stones. Sure footing is necessary to avoid injury!
