Volunteers
Meals on Wheels is also in need of volunteers. Volunteers deliver meals to 8-16 people one day a week for about an hour.
We serve about 300 people per day. Because the need is so great in the community and we are not-for-profit – we rely on volunteers to get the job done.
Volunteers must have a driver’s license and transportation. Training is easy. If you are interested, please call our program coordinator at 658-3508, ext. 116.
