We deliver meals with a smile and a warm, friendly touch to our clients.
Meals are prepared by a commercial caterer, packed in individual thermal coolers, and delivered to our staging area at First Presbyterian Church in Ballston at around 11 am.
Volunteer drivers report to the Meals on Wheels dispatcher at the church and pick up their meals and route books with detailed route instructions. Meals for a week at a time, 5 fresh and 5 flash frozen, are delivered on Wednesdays.
We currently deliver approximately 30 routes in North and South Arlington; each route has an average of 5-10 clients and takes about 1 ½ hours to complete.
Drivers return empty containers to the church, where they are picked up by the caterer.
Drivers report any issues with the delivery or the welfare of the client to the on-site dispatcher at the church.
