Volunteer to Deliver for Meals on Wheels.
Meals on Wheels volunteers are making a real difference in our community, where thousands of individuals are unable to access or prepare affordable, nutritious meals. Help us combat food insecurity — we are in need of volunteers! Our volunteer opportunities range from driving a Meals on Wheels route over the noon hour to checking in with our clients by phone to make sure they're well and happy.

Meals are available at an already low cost of $9.35, and that cost may be further reduced or eliminated due to a client's financial situation. If a client is eligible, funding assistance is available through partners such as Polk County, Aging Resources of Central Iowa, and other State of Iowa-funded programs and initiatives, and through the generous support of the United Way of Central Iowa and private contributions.
We deliver hot meals in Polk county and the eastern portion of Dallas county. Frozen meal packs are available in Dallas, Polk, and Warren counties. If you would like to check if your address is within our service area, get in touch with us and we will let you know.
Meals are prepared in our own kitchen and personally delivered by our courteous, friendly drivers and volunteers. They deliver a warm "hello" with each meal as they check on the safety of their clients. With few exceptions, each client sees the same driver each day, establishing a connection.
