Volunteer with Meals on Wheels
Looking for a Fun and Rewarding Volunteer Opportunity? Volunteer with Meals on Wheels! As a Meals on Wheels Volunteer, you’ll be part of a compassionate team dedicated to helping seniors who are homebound maintain their health and independence. You’ll also be helping to combat social isolation and break down barriers for seniors who need it most. By providing nutritious meals, personal contact, and caring service, you’ll play a crucial role in supporting the well-being of seniors in your community.

Meals on Wheels Volunteer Positions
Training is provided for each role.
Site Coordinators – Lead and support our dedicated volunteers to ensure meals—and hope—reach those who need them. From organizing deliveries to stepping in to call, pack, or deliver when needed, coordinators lead the heart of our daily operations.
Meal Packer – Be part of something meaningful by helping pack meals with care and purpose. Your attention to detail ensures each client receives the right meals, and nourishment they count on and a reminder that someone cares.
Caller/Office Help – Be a caring voice our clients look forward to each week. You’ll take their meal orders, keep notes up to date, and connect them to other support when needed—making sure they feel heard, valued, and never alone.
Delivery Driver – Be a lifeline for homebound seniors. With each delivery, you’re not just bringing food—you’re bringing dignity, hope and human connection to someone who may not see another person all day. *Mileage reimbursement available*
Alternate – A vital volunteer who is ready to step in when needed, ensuring consistency and support to help keep our services running smoothly.
