Meals on Wheels of Northeast Ohio – Volunteer drivers needed in Stark County!
Our Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver more than just a meal. They provide important companionship and a watchful eye on the health and safety of our senior and home-bound clients. Our drivers are some times the only people our clients see during the day and are helpful in identifying emergencies or health hazards.
You can make a difference in just over an hour!
Our volunteer drivers cover more than 65 routes in Stark, Summit and Wayne Counties every weekday (except holidays). A typical route takes about an hour to complete with some rural routes lasting 75-90 minutes.
Benefits of volunteering
- Training and mileage reimbursement included
- Stop-by-stop directions provided in a handy, compact tablet with GPS.
- Set schedules during the week for easy planning. Most volunteers arrive at our sites between 10-10:30 a.m. to pick up meals for delivery.
- Flexible schedules: volunteer weekly, every other week, monthly or when your schedule allows.
Looking to volunteer as a company or an organization? Adopt-a-Route!
Corporate group volunteering: Turn teamwork into community impact.
Our Adopt-a-Route program gives companies and organizations an easy way to make a consistent difference in the lives of aging neighbors.
- Select a convenient delivery route
- Commit to a regular schedule (weekly, biweekly, monthly)
- Schedule employees to take turns delivering meals, creating a shared volunteer experience.
For example: A company adopts one route each week and has eight employees participate. Employees can rotate delivery dates in pairs so each person only needs to deliver about once a month.
Beyond delivering meals
Adopt-a-Route is a great way to build teamwork, strengthen connections among colleagues and create a shared sense of purpose while giving back to the community.
