Volunteer to Deliver for Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels Volunteer Opportunities

Meals on Wheels is always looking for volunteers. Here are the details:

• Volunteers can volunteer for as many delivery days as they like (once a week, once a month) -or- they can volunteer to be on an on-call basis
• Our services are Monday-Friday. Volunteers pick up their meals to be delivered at 10:30-11:00am, and usually have 8-12 stops.
• Routes are usually complete in 1 – 1.5 hours on a normal day
• Volunteers are given a route sheet to work from, but it is recommended to bring your cell phone to map the route with GPS.
• Volunteers have the option of tracking their milage and receiving a milage reimbursement of $.60/mile. Most take advantage of this reimbursement.
• Volunteers receive lunch that day and snacks!
• Volunteers are required to fill out an application and be background checked. The link to the application is https://www.srda.org/207/Volunteer-Application-Process
• Volunteers are required to have a valid driver’s license and insurance on their vehicle and must be 18 or older.
• This is a great opportunity for someone who might need hours of volunteering, property tax work off program, those needing to complete community service, and high school students that need volunteer hours (with a sponsor who is 18 or over).
• It takes about 1 week from the time the application is submitted to start volunteering.
• If you are interested in working as a 2-person team, we can do that as well!

Our volunteers find this opportunity very rewarding, and it can be as long or short as you want. If you would like a short route to work over your lunch hour, we can do that. If you want a longer route to get more of the milage reimbursement, we can do that as well.

It is an opportunity to get to know your neighbors.
