Thank you for
your interest in
volunteering!
Many Hands Make Light Work.
Together, our volunteers deliver 250,000 meals each year to 2,000 aging neighbors. But they deliver more than meals. Each visit brings a friendly face, a brief conversation, and a caring connection that can ease isolation and brighten someone’s day.
Join them. Join us.

Make a Difference in About an Hour
Our greatest need is meal delivery.
Volunteers pick up prepared meals, follow a designated route, and deliver meals to about 10-15 aging neighbors.
Most routes take about one hour.
Each route begins between 10-10:30am at one of our distribution sites in Barberton, Canal Fulton, Dalton, Massillon, or Wooster.
Volunteers are needed in Stark, Summit County, & Wayne Counties.
Volunteer weekly, every other week, monthly, or when your schedule allows.

Adopt-a-Route
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.
Your organization selects a delivery route at a convenient location and commits to covering it on a regular schedule – weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Employees then take turns delivering meals, creating a shared volunteer experience without requiring everyone to commit every week.
For example: A company adopts one route each week and has eight employees participate. Employees can rotate 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.

We’ll work with your organization to find a route and schedule that fit your team.
