Deliver Meals to Seniors
For many homebound older adults, a Meals on Wheels volunteer is the only person they see all day. Volunteers deliver hot meals along a local route and take a moment to check in, share a smile, and make sure their neighbor is safe and well. Routes usually take an hour or two, fit around a normal schedule, and the friendly visit means as much as the food.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
