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!
