Meals on Wheels Delivery Volunteers

Save to Favorites

Meals on Wheels of Guilford County is in need of volunteers to help deliver meals to homebound, elderly clients. Our volunteers are essential to making this program a success by ensuring that each client receives a hot and nutritious mid-day meal Monday through Friday.

Meals on Wheels is more than just giving out food to people. It gives you a purpose in knowing that when you give those who are homebound a meal, you are checking on their wellbeing and even forming friendly and lasting relationships. For some clients, you may be the only person they get to see that day. So our volunteers are especially important for those who need the human interaction as much as they need the food.

When you volunteer, you will arrive at our main office at 1401 Benjamin Parkway in Greensboro between 9:00am and 9:45am. When you arrive, we will check you in and give you a tablet to use that has all the necessary information and directions for each client to whom you will deliver meals. We will load a container with hot meals and a cooler with cold items into your car, and you will then follow the directions on the tablet to deliver the meals to the clients on the list. Most routes have between 8-13 clients, and it can take about 2 hours to deliver the meals. We do have opportunities to volunteer in Jamestown and Pleasant Garden as well if you are interested in those locations.

Thank you so much for helping us to make Meals on Wheels a true success!

***Due to COVID19, volunteers are asked to wear a mask and maintain social distancing while delivering the meals. Masks and gloves are available upon request.
