Expansion of the program is necessary to bring this important service to other areas of the county. Volunteer drivers are always needed to transport meals, in their own vehicles, to a certain number of clients on a pre-planned route. Visitors who accompany the drivers are also needed. Most importantly, our visitors provide daily contact with each client, providing a warm heart, friendly smile, and a vital link to the outside community. Our visitors note any changes in the daily routine and report any concerns or problems to our referral specialists.
Schedules are very flexible, from as little as once a month to as often as every day.
Meals on Wheels is one of two volunteer programs under the Cooperative Ministry on Aging. The Telephone Reassurance Program is also seeking volunteers to make friendly telephone calls to the isolated and homebound seniors. It is our Vision to hold to the highest standards of quality in delivering healthy, nutritious meals which will contribute to the mental and physical well-being of our clients.
