ORGANIZATION: MOBILE MEALS OF WESTFIELD

Mobile Meals of Westfield, a small non profit serving meals to clients in 7 surrounding towns, is looking for a new board member whose primary responsibility will be shopping for fresh food every Monday morning. In addition to shopping, all board members must attend the monthly board meetings and participate in other efforts to promote the organization. We adhere strictly to all covid protocols as we are a food service, often for our older neighbors. A part of our service is to visit with our clients, providing vital contact with homebound individuals. We are not part of Meals on Wheels, a federally funded program for which cleints must meet criteria. We serve anyone who wants our service regardless of age, income, living situation, disability etc. The position will start immediately as our current shopper needs to leave at the end of December.

Mission Statement

Mobile Meals is a non-profit, voluntary community service providing hot meals 5 days a week to anyone who can not prepare their own meals.
