Volunteer

You are the lifeline of our organization … The Wheels!

Without the volunteers performing the home delivery of two meals a day, our homebound neighbors would be malnourished and isolated. Often our volunteers are the only person that they get to see or talk to all day. With two meals, a daily visit and a reassuring phone call, our homebound neighbors are able to remain in their own homes, well nourished and living independently.

Volunteer opportunities for meal delivery

Monday through Friday between 9:45 am – 12:30pm.

Volunteers utilize their own cars without compensation, however, it is not mandatory that you have a vehicle. We always maintain a driver and navigator/delivery person – 2 people in a car.

To become a volunteer for meal delivery we ask that you to come to the office and fill out a "Volunteer Registration Card."

We are very flexible and are grateful for whatever you are able to offer us. You let us know when you are able to volunteer and we’ll schedule you accordingly. Volunteers schedules range from once a week, to twice a week, to every week, to every month, to those individuals who prefer to be on-call.

If you have any questions, please call Elaine or Linda 562 698-2750
