Help deliver holiday meals

Meals on Wheels Central Texas is in “urgent need” of new volunteers who live in the greater Austin area and can help deliver lunchtime meals – and a smile – to homebound older adults on weekdays. Volunteers may choose the meal pickup site that is most convenient to where they live or work. The first step to becoming a volunteer is to fill out an application form and then attend a brief online volunteer orientation. The total training takes just one hour. Over 5,000 seniors in Central Texas rely on Meals on Wheels for a midday hot meal five days a week. The organization says volunteering just an hour a week can “make a world of difference” in people’s lives. Find more information and a list of delivery routes here.
