Meals on Wheels West is looking for volunteers to make meal deliveries through our "Delivering More Than a Meal" program on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays in Santa Monica.
No matter why a person is homebound - chronic illness, frailty, disability, recent surgery or other physical or mental health issues they face two major difficulties: poor nutrition and isolation. Meals on Wheels West volunteers help prevent both by Delivering More Than a Meal to homebound people of all ages and incomes. The nutritious meals and Wellness Checks that you deliver promote the stability, health, and wellness our our homebound, and often times lonely, community members.
Our "Adopt-a-Day" Delivery Volunteers adopts a route one day a week (but not a specific route). The day chosen will be the same each week, and you will be assigned whichever route opens up that day. Volunteers love this because of the variety and getting to see different members of the community.
The meals that you will deliver consist of hot lunches, a side, milk and/or juice, fruit, and frozen meals (on select days). Each route has an average of 10-15 homebound clients who would otherwise be food insecure.
Meal pickup and bag dropoff is at our office in Santa Monica.
What's Required: Availability on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday between 10:45 am - 1:45 pm depending on the route for approximately 1 - 2 hours.
