Making your impact, one meal at a time. SOS Meals on Wheels provides meals to homebound seniors in Oakland, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Castro Valley, Hayward, Fremont, Newark, and Union City.
Our greatest ongoing need is for Meal Delivery Drivers! Help enact our mission by delivering nutritious, healthy meals to seniors in our community.
Our Volunteer Drivers use their own vehicles and fuel to pick up meals from our Fremont location: 39439 Paseo Padre Pkwy, Fremont (Fremont Hall of Justice rear parking lot)
Drivers deliver 15-20 meals to clients in Fremont, Newark, and Union City.
Meals are delivered between 10:30am-12:30pm Monday through Friday. Volunteer check-in time is 10:15am, and routes take an average of 1-2 hours.
We are a volunteer powered organization--66% of our meal deliveries are carried out by our amazing volunteers. We need your help to ensure our seniors receive their meals.

We foster the independence and dignity of older adults by reducing food insecurity and isolation, with daily nutritious meals, friendly visits, and connection to support services.
Description
SOS Meals on Wheels is the largest program of it's kind in the East Bay, feeding over 1,800 seniors a day!
Every weekday we prepare over 1,800 chilled nutritious meals to seniors who are over 60 years of age and unable to purchase or prepare food for themselves. In addition to transporting the food, Meals on Wheels’ volunteer drivers provide daily check-ins for these vulnerable elders, assistance with small tasks and remembrance on special occasions such as holidays. If seniors need weekend food, they receive frozen meals at the end of the week. We have modified our delivery method during the health pandemic to ensure that everyone is as safe as possible to continue our essential service!
Do you have just one weekday in which you can spare and hour or two, either late morning or early afternoon? If so, we certainly need the help!
