Volunteer drivers are the engines that move us! In a month, we deliver over 7,500 meals. That includes two meals per day for each client, via approximately 30 routes, and averaging 5-10 clients per route.
A week’s worth of food is delivered on Wednesdays. We do not deliver on evenings or weekends.
To help with parking and speed, some of our volunteers form teams with a driver and a runner.
Some of our volunteer drivers are with churches, synagogues, or companies which adopt one or more routes and provide drivers on a regular basis.
We do not require assistance with food preparation, as our meals come from a commercial caterer.
Requirements
Volunteer drivers must hold a valid driver’s license, and will operate their own properly maintained, inspected, and insured vehicles. The use of seatbelts is required.
A training session will be arranged to introduce all volunteers to Meals on Wheels processes and procedures. We will also support your first route delivery by pairing you with an experienced volunteer.
