When I heard nearly 1 in 6 seniors is threatened by hunger and from 2001 to 2011, the number of seniors experiencing the threat of hunger increased by 88%. I knew I had to do something. This year Ill give thanks to those that have traveled the path before me and give back by taking action. If you have the time, volunteer for a necessary cause. Meals on Wheels mowaa.org/about-senior-hunger Contact Your Local Program (via link above) to Deliver or Prepare a Meal. Volunteers are the backbone of Meals on Wheels programs across the country. Not only do they prepare and deliver meals to home bound seniors in their local communities, they also provide the seniors with companionship and a warm, friendly smile when they arrive at the door. There are numerous volunteer opportunities at Meals on Wheels programs, though specific openings will vary from one location to another. People of varied interests and abilities can help – whether they want to be hands-on or behind the scenes. Timing is also flexible, but most programs deliver meals before noon. How Can YOU Help? Meals on Wheels programs across the country identified these common volunteer positions. Not all opportunities are available at every organization – and many local programs have additional, unique volunteer needs.
