Port Orange, FL 32127
Impact of accomplishment : Client is provided a nutritious meal and a well being check with smiles. This assures that the seniors are able to remain in the home with a more comfortable and rewarding quality of life. Personal relationships and bonds are made through this rewarding opportunity. You will deliver hot lunches to homebound elderly within a specific geographic area close to your home. As you deliver the meals you will check to see if the client is okay and report back any unusual circumstances. In this way, the volunteer serves as a link between the COA and the elderly client.

Daytona Beach, FL 32114
One in four seniors lives alone, and nearly 9.5 million seniors in America are threatened by hunger. Here in Volusia County, more than 250 screened and trained volunteers, many of whom have been with COA for several years, deliver nutritious meals to local seniors, working tirelessly to promote good nutrition, health, and independence while providing critical social interaction and wellbeing checks. While most Meals on Wheels clients use the program on a long-term or permanent basis, home-delivered meals are also available on a short-term basis for those people in temporary situations (recovering at home from surgery, etc.). As funding is available, qualified seniors are eligible for meal services at no charge or with a modest co-payment. We love our amazing volunteers who help us to feed seniors in our communities with their dedication and willingness to drive and help when and where they can. We couldn't do this without people like you! Flexible schedule. We will work with you, you can volunteer as little as one day a month to as much as five days a week. Bring a friend.
