Our volunteers come from every walk of life.
From students to working professionals to retirees, Meals on Wheels volunteers are special people, willing to deliver throughout Monroe County in virtually all kinds of weather and road conditions. In 2025, over 230 volunteers drove more than 150,000 miles to help us provide nutritional support to Monroe County’s homebound. Thanks to their dedication and perseverance, 111,593 meals were served to 514 individuals on more than 15 delivery routes.
Volunteering is easy and you can do it on your schedule. There’s no need to commit to certain days. As it’s always nice to travel in pairs, grab a friend, spouse, relative, or neighbor and sign up together!
Volunteers must complete an application, pass a criminal background check and, if driving, provide a copy of your valid PA driver’s license and an automobile insurance declaration page that indicates a minimum of $100,000/$300,000 in coverage.
There are many ways in which to help...
Drivers
As a driver, you’ll use your own vehicle as part of a team responsible for delivering meals along a pre-planned route. Annually, you must supply a copy of your valid PA driver’s license and an automobile insurance declaration page that indicates a minimum of $100,000/$300,000 in coverage.
Volunteer as a Group
If you own a business or manage a team, we invite you and your team members to spend a day delivering meals. Pick a corporate giving day, a national day of service, or any day that fits your schedule - opportunities are available for teams of any size. Fill out the Group Volunteer Application and we'll be in touch to coordinate the rest. Note that all employees will need to complete a brief one-time Volunteer Application, and that drivers must have sufficient insurance coverage if they choose to drive their own vehicles.
Visitors
Our drivers are accompanied by visitors who deliver meals to the client, communicate with our office regarding client concerns, conduct a safety check, and share friendly conversation to brighten a client’s day.
Anytime Assistance
We always need help with telephoning clients, distributing pet food, staffing fundraising activities, packing emergency food bags, wrapping gifts, and other special projects. Let us know your special skills and, together, we’ll come up with a volunteer opportunity just perfect for you.
