Together, We Can Deliver
The aging population is escalating rapidly, and so is the need for volunteers. Join our group of volunteers who are the heart of our organization. It doesn't take much from each of us to improve the lives of so many. Together, we can make a huge difference for seniors in our community.
All volunteers can receive a meal on the day that they come in.

Often coupled with personal notes from the individuals who created the packages, it is a sure way to brighten someone's day.

- Volunteer at a Meals on Wheels fundraising event
- Host an event (in-person or online) with Meals on Wheels as a beneficiary
