Would you like to form a meaningful, new connection with someone in your community? Volunteers are needed to socialize with older adults or adults with disabilities, either during mealtimes, or at other times, in-person or by phone. These participants are connected to Fairfax County's Department of Family Services case managers and many receive Meals on Wheels. Volunteer mealtime visitors should bring their own meal or snack, at lunch or dinnertime. It's a weekday commitment, once per week, or more. Schedules are flexible and mutually determined by the recipient and volunteer.
Bilingual volunteers are needed, too!

Volunteer Solutions is a Partnership of Fairfax County's Family Services, Health Department and Neighborhood & Community Services.
Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required for in-person volunteers.
