Background

When you are a Meals on Wheels volunteer, you are delivering much more than a nutritious meal – you are delivering wellness checks and caring contact. For many of our homebound seniors, you will be the only person they see or talk to all day.

A typical volunteer shift takes about an hour to complete. Your time volunteer with Meals on Wheels of Metro Tulsa will have a profound impact on many lives, including your own. And that feels good. Because when you do good, you feel good.

Group Volunteering: 

Volunteering with Meals on Wheels encourages teamwork and can be a great way of improving communications across departments and between employees and supervisors.

Let us know how we can customize a volunteer experience that will fit the needs, goals, and schedule of your employee team, club, or church.  Our Volunteer Engagement team is happy to further speak on delivering the Meals on Wheels mission with you and your group at a Lunch and Learn, or similar group setting that is the best fit for your organization.
