The pantry is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays with several shifts - one from 10 am to noon, a second from 2 - 4 pm, and a third on Thursdays from 4 - 6 pm. People in need of food call in to a volunteer to register. Once registered, the information is sent to the Food Pantry where another volunteer, gathers the food items and delivers them to the waiting vehicle. COVID protocols are in place to keep you safe. As with all employees who enter the building, volunteers are required to answer screening questions and have their temperature taken each time they volunteer. Volunteers helping with registration will be in an office by themselves; volunteers helping with delivery wear masks and load the cars while the clients wait in the vehicle.

Deliver Hot, Midday Meals to Seniors!

Flexible Schedule | Round Lake, IL 60073

Help Seniors in Your Community! Are you looking for a volunteer opportunity that makes a huge impact on your community and requires only a an hour or two of your time each week? Delivering meals is a simple and effective way to help seniors in your community who are home-bound due to age or disability. Many of our Meals on Wheels clients see but one face per day--that of our volunteers! Volunteers use their own vehicle to deliver hot, nutritious meals on weekdays between 10:30 am and 12 pm. We provide masks and gloves and recommend that you place the meal on the front stoop and take a few steps back so that you can greet the senior from a distance. We will work with you to find a day, pickup location and route close to your home or office. You can volunteer once a week, once a month, seasonally or as a substitute! Volunteers are needed throughout Lake and McHenry Counties, with the biggest need in west central Lake County.
