We need help delivering fresh meals, as well as shelf-stable meals for winter weather closures, to our homebound older and disabled neighbors! Our volunteers report that delivering meals, performing safety checks, and connecting with seniors in our community is a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Nearly 40% of MOW Chesapeake participants would see no one for a week or more if it weren't for their delivery volunteer, and 97% look forward to seeing their volunteer each day.
Come and deliver lunch, dinner, shelf-stable meals, social connection, and safety checks to our wonderful and worthy participants!
Every volunteer gets a swag bag with a t-shirt, lanyard, some program literature, and a lunch for the road.
Please dress appropriately for the weather. You will need to drive your own car or ride with someone in your group. Every volunteer is expected to fill out a volunteer application, release of liability waiver, non-solicitation policy, and photo release (attached here).
Note for teams and groups: when registering for this opportunity, only register your team once, and only register your *drivers*. For example, if you are a small team of 3 and would like to ride together, only register 1 volunteer. If you are a large team of 30 and would like to ride in groups of 3, only register 10 volunteers.
When MOWC staff reaches out to you to confirm registration, they will ask for the total number of volunteers, and confirm that the number of drivers is the same as you registered on Galaxy Digital. If you are unsure of how to register, reach out to megan.mann@mealsonwheelschesapeake.com or call 757-312-6458 for further assistance.
