Volunteer Delivery Driver in Essex

Volunteer as a Meal Delivery Driver in Essex

Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland provides two nutritious meals daily to homebound persons living in Baltimore City, Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Carroll, Harford, Montgomery, Prince George’s, and Howard Counties.

Volunteers provide friendly and compassionate meal delivery service to our clients. Related services include grocery shopping, pet food, and phone call programs.

What does homebound mean? Our clients are unable to prepare meals or shop for themselves. Most of our clients are elderly. Other clients may be disabled, ill, or recovering from major medical procedures.

Are there income restrictions on service? No. Anyone who meets the definition of homebound may be eligible for service.

Is meal service free? Some clients receive free meal service, however most clients pay a small fee. We determine how much our clients pay by assessing all forms of income.

Why do we rely on volunteers? Since its start in 1960, Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland has been a volunteer-supported agency. Volunteers truly provide the heart of our agency. They care about what they do and support our mission. Without our volunteers, paid staff would deliver over 3,000 meals a day, making our services more costly and less personal.

Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland is looking for volunteers to deliver meals to homebound individuals in the Essex community and surrounding neighborhoods.

• Deliver meals to apartment buildings and private residences in the local neighborhoods.
• Deliveries are Monday through Friday, starting at 10:30 am; routes typically take an hour and a half to complete.
