Meal Delivery Substitute - Meals on Wheels

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Volunteer Polk

  • 4 people are interested

Meals on Wheels of Polk County needs volunteers to deliver meals to the clients. The role of the volunteer is far more important than the meals they deliver. They are often the only contact our recipients have all day. They provide a warm smile and a caring attitude. They are a safety check to help ensure our recipient's well being. They are the eyes and ears of Meals On Wheels and often alert us to recipients with additional needs. We are able to schedule most volunteers for service near their home or office.

The Meals on Wheels of Polk County mission is to provide hot, nutritionally balanced meals, and a daily contact to the homebound residents of the Polk County area. The program provides a means of independence for many of our senior citizens - in some cases, it is a means of survival. Meals on Wheels Inc, is a non-profit organization, actively supported by churches, civic organizations, businesses, and hundreds of active volunteers and residents throughout the Polk County Area.
