Saturday Meal Delivery Volunteer
Description
Meals on Wheels is looking for volunteers to help deliver meals to seniors and adults living with disabilities in our community. The volunteer commitment is flexible and is usually a few times a month depending on your availability. Once you have completed training you can sign up for shifts and view your schedule in our online volunteering portal. Each shift is 2 hours and usually occurs over the lunch period from 11:00am to 1:00pm on Saturday. We also offer weekday volunteering opportunities should this be of interest.
Drivers deliver hot meals to clients at their home, brining the meal to the door and greeting the client. Drivers use their own vehicles to make deliveries to clients at their homes. During this time, volunteers see the direct impact their help makes in the clients’ lives.
How will this opportunity benefit the volunteer?

Supporting Gaining experience dealing with the public, working as a member of a team, working within a health care related community support service organization.
How will the organization benefit?
Meals on Wheels relies on volunteers to keep our service running at full capacity. As more members of our community choose to remain at home in their senior years, access to nutritious food is essential for their health and independence. During these times of increased food insecurity, Meals on Wheels helps those in our community who may no longer be able to cook, may have difficulty accessing groceries, or would simply like some help with their meals.
