ORGANIZATION: MEALS FOR SENIORS INC

Join our dedicated and well-trained group of volunteers who derive satisfaction and camaraderie for the giving of their time and energy. We strive hard to make this a fun and supportive experience. We provide training for all volunteers and provide them with a volunteer handbook.

Meals For Seniors, Inc. employs a cook but all other functions are performed by volunteers. Within the organization we have a Volunteer Coordinator who ensures all volunteers are trained and scheduled for their work. Volunteers are used in the following capacities:

  • Assist in the kitchen in the preparation and serving of meals, and in clean-up after the meals

  • Deliver meals to the homebound

  • Assist in bagging cans & bottles for the Oregon Bottle Drop Program

  • Assist with fundraising

  • Serve on the 13 member Board of Directors

Mission Statement

"Our mission is to enable the senior citizens of North Tillamook County to continue living independently in their own homes by providing access to nutritious meals and social occasions."

Description

Meals for Senior's goal is to provide senior citizens in the local area a place to congregate, socialize, be entertained and have access to an appetizing and nutritious dining experience. We serve senior citizens in North Tillamook County. Our patrons come from Nehalem, Wheeler, Brighton, Nedonna, Rockaway Beach, Twin Rocks, Barview, Garibaldi and from unincorporated areas of the North County. Our target population is senior citizens, with a special dedication to seniors who are home bound.

For those persons who are unable to come to the meal site, we deliver a freshly prepared, complete packaged meal, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Many of these homebound are not able to shop; thus, we also deliver additional frozen meals and snacks so they have meals for six days of the week.
