Ways to Volunteer

Friendly Visitors

Friendly Visitors / Friendly Callers

Call or visit a lonely homebound older adult in need of companionship or a helping hand. Most Meals on Wheels visits are for one hour a week, so they’re easy to fit into most schedules.

Gift

Let a senior know they are not forgotten by providing a small holiday gift. Sometimes, it’s the only gift they receive from anyone … and it’s a critical reminder that they matter!
