In just a couple of hours, you can help bring much needed meals to older adults in your community! At Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging, we believe that access to fresh, healthy and filling food is an important aspect of maintaining wellness and preventing malnutrition.

Using their own vehicle, volunteers bring already prepared and packaged medically tailored meals to older adults who are a part of our Home Delivered Meals Program. Volunteers pick up meals from our Margaret Wagner Apartments and deliver to individual's homes. Our clients are located throughout Cuyahoga County. Volunteers deliver meals on weekdays starting at 10:00 a.m.

If you are interested in learning more about this, or any other volunteer opportunity, please contact us at 216-373-1932 or visit our website at www.benrose.org/volunteer.
