Call Meals on Wheels clients to check on them

Flexible Schedule | Virtual Opportunity

Our Meals on Wheels clients are more isolated than ever because of the pandemic. This program is a new way to provide contact for our MOW clients who are homebound, living alone or disabled. We know that lack of frequent contact with others can lead to deeper issues such as loneliness, depression and malnutrition. We are looking for volunteers who could call specific clients once or twice a month to check in and see how they are doing. This can be a friendly and casual phone call and a chance for us to let them know CES has other programs that can help them. We will provide talking points, a Frequently Asked Questions sheet and other information that will help our clients deal with these uncertain times. If they are having problems we can help with, you would forward the information to our coordinator. The calling can be done form your home at any time that works for you and the client. PLEASE: at this time we are only accepting volunteers who are located in the Twin Cities area because they are familiar with local services.

Meals on Wheels drivers

Flexible Schedule | Minneapolis, MN 55404

We are looking for volunteers to deliver meals to our Seniors in Minneapolis. Deliveries currently occur every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Meals can be picked up between 10:45-11am and meal delivery normally takes about an hour. Meals can be picked up at 1900 11th Ave S, Mpls MN 55404 (we are six blocks south of the USBank Stadium). We practice social distancing when we deliver the meals. Masks, gloves and sanitizer are available for all drivers when you pick up the meals. You can help out as little as once a month or as much as 3x a week. We encourage volunteers to deliver three times to see if it's something you would like to do on a regular basis. You can choose to deliver to the same route each time or take any route that is open.

Deliver groceries to Homebound Seniors

Flexible Schedule | Minneapolis, MN 55404

Many of our neighbors are home-bound and unable to get the nourishment they need. Through this collaborative effort our Home Delivery program provides essential groceries to seniors in need. Through generous donations, CES offers clients the food and the volunteer power to "shop" for our clients in the food pantry based off of client requests. After packing up the groceries, the volunteer then delivers the bags directly to the client. Each client receives a delivery once a month. Clients reside in South and North Minneapolis. Volunteers commitment is once a month for a minimum of 6 months. This allows the volunteer to create a greater bond with the client who is often quite isolated and lonely. Interested volunteers are asked to complete a CES Application. https://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/ap?ap=183072533 Once the application is completed, the Volunteer Coordinator will contact you with the next steps.

Meals on Wheels Packer

Flexible Schedule | Minneapolis, MN 55404

Community Emergency Service Meals On Wheels (MOW) is an important solution to those in need of nutritional and social support, many of whom are homebound. We serve over 360 people daily in the inner city areas of South and North Minneapolis with a smile and a prepared, nutritious, hot noon meal or frozen meals delivered weekly to our most active clients. We are currently seeking volunteers to help pack meals for our clients to be delivered later that afternoon. This consists of selecting an appropriate frozen meal based on clients preference along with a beverage and dessert. Requires the ability to stand for 2 hours and be detailed orientated.
