Daily Needs

• Café Meal Helper: help to prepare heat and serve the lunches that the seniors will eat at the cafe that day.

• Preparing Meals: A group of friends, family members, church or school groups, or neighbors join together to prepare, heat and pack the lunches that the drivers will deliver that day.

• Driver/ Runner: This is our greatest need at Meals on Wheels! We are in constant need of drivers and meal runners to get our seniors their lunches during the weekdays. Drivers are reimbursed for mileage and can create their own schedule.

• Front Desk: Monday through Friday- Volunteers are needed to oversee front desk duties, including answering and directing phone calls, and other light administrative duties. It's a great way to work with staff and fellow volunteers. Must be at least 18 years of age.
