Noon Meal Delivery Drivers
Time commitment:
1 hour per week during the lunch hour, your choice of
day, Monday through Friday.
You can help homebound seniors in Wood County remain in
their homes by delivering hot nutritious meals to their
door. Home delivered meals volunteers take 6-10 meals
to individual local seniors each week. Meals are packed
and ready to go in containers at the senior center. Training
and local maps are provided for volunteers.
This opportunity is open to people of all ages. At least
one volunteer on each route must have a valid driver's
license. This is a perfect opportunity for families and
friends to volunteer together to make a difference in
