Each weekday, Meals on Wheels of Takoma Park and Silver Spring prepares two nourishing meals for hundreds of clients, helping them maintain their health and independence as they age, battle illness and recover from injuries. Demand for our services is rising -- tripling since 2020 -- and we're growing fast to meet the need.
Delivery volunteers pick up meals around noon and hand them to clients at their homes along routes designed to take less than 90 minutes. Volunteers often work in pairs, with one driving and the other running meals from the car to the neighbor's door. Volunteers can choose recurring shifts on the same route or sign up for one-time shifts as their schedule allows.
Note: Drivers use their own cars and must have a valid driver's license.
