Volunteer with Meals on Wheels
Volunteers are the heart of Meals on Wheels. As a volunteer, you are responsible for delivering meals to seniors, elders, people living with disabilities and people recovering from injuries, all within your neighbourhood.
Requirements
- Two hours of your time once a week or twice a month
- A valid driver’s license
- A vehicle or partner willing to drive
- Three references
You don’t have to volunteer year-round to make a difference. If you can drive for a couple of weeks, a month or a season, we’d love to have you on our team.
What Do Volunteers Do?
- Deliver 10 to 20 meals between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
- Volunteer on weekdays and/or weekends at a frequency that suits you
- Pick up meals from one of our 13 delivery centres across Winnipeg and deliver to the neighbourhood of your choice
- Enjoy a flexible schedule
- Receive a gasoline honorarium for each route you serve
