Meals on Wheels offers volunteer opportunities delivering meals in your own community Monday through Friday. Why not begin 2016 by making a commitment to volunteer for Meals on Wheels? Please join us for our orientation/training programs in February. On Tuesday, February 9, 2016, at 10:00am, and again on Thursday, February 19, 1:00 pm at 8446 Virginia Street, Merrillville, we will be doing orientation for new volunteers. We are currently recruiting drivers/delivery volunteers in the Hammond and Munster communities. You could help one of your neighbors stay in their own homes by volunteering to help deliver meals. Each day, volunteers assist in the delivery of more than 1,500 meals throughout Lake County. According to Joan Vith, Volunteer Manager, “volunteers helped us meet our goal of providing proper nutrition to those in need throughout Lake County. With recent retirements, and illnesses affecting our volunteers, we are in need of drivers in some Munster and Hammond neighborhoods.”
Interested candidates are invited to attend one of our upcoming sessions. Applicants will have an opportunity to tour the facility and ask questions about Meals on Wheels and the different volunteer opportunities we have available.
To register for training, or for more information on individual or corporate volunteering opportunities, contact Joan at (219)-756-3663, or email joan@mownwi.org
