About Meals on Wheels

Location:

704 Rose Hill Drive, Charlottesville, VA 22903, US

Mission Statement

Our service's goal is to not only provide healthy food, but also meaningful and daily social interaction to people in the Charlottesville area who would otherwise not be checked on or fed. We are a Monday-Friday operation. Volunteer Meal-Packers are needed between 9:00AM-10:15AM. Volunteer Route-Drivers are needed to pick up their meals between 10:30AM-11:00AM. Route-Times vary in length from approximately 20-60 minutes depending on the mileage and number of clients. Meals on Wheels currently serves over 250 clients each and every day, and that would not be possible without the work of our incredible volunteer base! We are truly thankful for every single volunteer who walks through our door and we make it a priority here to support them as much as they support our organization.
