Our primary volunteer opportunity is meal delivery, late morning, Monday through Friday and sometimes substitutes are needed especially around holidays and summer vacations. It takes about 90 minutes to deliver a route. Volunteers use their own vehicles, pick up fresh hot meals (with cold accompaniments) from one of 5 pickup locations and deliver to 8-12 recipients (route sheet with directions provided).
We serve the city of Lynchburg, Rustburg, Madison Heights, and Forest so there is likely a route that will be convenient for you! You can be scheduled for twice a month, once a month, once a week, or once in a while. You can also sign up for our 'sub list' - not a regular schedule, but available to be called in advance when there are openings. Go online to read more at https://mealsonwheelslynchburg.org/Volunteer/Overview or to https://mealsonwheelslynchburg.org/Volunteer/Apply-Now to submit a Volunteer Application.
A perfect opportunity for businesses, civic organizations or faith communities to coordinate a route: commit to a schedule, one person serves as group coordinator and schedules drivers from the group to deliver on specific days. Call 434-847-0796 to find out more about coordinating a group.
