The people I dealt with were personable. I volunteered as a driver; I'll definitely do it again.

by Patricia B. from Los Angeles, CA (Administrator for this Organization) (November 19, 2008)

Staff and volunteers at St.Vincent Meals on Wheels are so dedicated and kind. Delivering warm meals to homebound seniors is such a great way to feel good about doing something good! It's only 3-4 hours to do a route and the seniors I met are truly grateful for their meals and love seeing someone at their door on a daily basis.
