Drivers deliver meals Monday through Friday at our Ashland site, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at our other sites in Sanborn, Mellen, Glidden, and Butternut.
Daily route drivers pick up meals at 11:00 a.m. at the local meal site. These routes take about an hour to complete. 10 - 17 meals. Rural delivery routes take a bit more time.
When finished, drivers leave the empty bags and meal containers inside at the meal site location. Daily route drivers use their own vehicles.
The wellness check, personal interaction, and smiles volunteers provide give clients a social and emotional boost, which is at least as important as the food they are getting!
Volunteer drivers must be 18 or older, have a vehicle, a valid driver’s license, and proof of current auto insurance.
- We provide a mileage reimbursement, if you choose to collect, and volunteer insurance over and above your personal insurance.

Mission Statement
It is our mission to help seniors to remain healthy while living independently in their own homes.
Description
The Ashland County Aging Unit, Inc. is a non-profit organization that assists seniors age 60 and over and their families in maintaining health, dignity, independence, and quality of life, by advocating, planning, coordinating, and delivering services and programs. There is an emphasis on meeting the needs of the socially and/or economically disadvantaged.
This allows older adults to sustain a quality of life that promotes longevity with comfort, independence, and maximum control over decisions that affect their lives. Services available include information and referral to appropriate agencies, advocacy, congregate and home-delivered meals, specialized transportation, benefit specialist services, counseling, senior home repair, and caregiver information and support. Although our programs are structured to help people 60 and older, our assistance is available to anyone, especially families, in search of help for an elderly person who is over 60 years old.
