North Minneapolis Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver vital nutrition, but more importantly, volunteers deliver a healthy dose of social connection.
You can volunteer as little as one lunch hour a month. Get a friend or co-worker to join you. We make it simple to fit into your schedule.
Meal Delivery Driver
Volunteers, using their own automobile, can choose a day(s) to deliver meals between Monday - Friday. Delivery time is typically 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. However their role is far more important than the meals they deliver:
- They are often the only contact our customers have all day.
- They provide a warm smile and a caring attitude.
- They are a safety check to help ensure our customer's well being.
- They are the eyes and ears of Meals-on-Wheels and often alert us to customers with additional needs.
Delivery volunteers are required to have a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance and have completed a one-hour orientation. "Everything is good about it, volunteers and meals"
—Teresa Carter Children and students can volunteer with an adult 18 years of age or older. Delivery volunteers may deliver as often as they like, but we ask for a minimum of one day per month.
