Volunteer drivers are a lifeline for the seniors on their route. Drivers check-in with seniors, deliver meals, help to reduce isolation, and create community. A few moments of your day can be a critical connection for socially isolated seniors or those in need of a little more support. Mileage is reimbursed at $0.625 per mile.

Mission Statement
The mission of Meals on Wheels California is to create a unified voice for nutrition providers and broaden the impact of our programs across the state to improve the lives of seniors, adults with disabilities and their families.
Description
More than a meal, Meals on Wheels provides a community. Our senior dining sites located offer daily hot meals to adults ages 60 and up. Volunteer drivers provide a friendly visit and a nutritious meal that helps support independence for vulnerable elders and disabled residents. Our drivers check in on the wellbeing of isolated elders, ensuring they receive referrals to other needed services.
