Smiles are Rewarding! When you deliver a meal to a homebound person you can see just how it helps them survive and remain independent in their own comfortable home. Volunteer Meal Delivery Drivers arrive at the Meals on Wheels meal pickup location between 9:30 to 11am depending on the location. We have 6 pickup locations depending on your area. You will pickup a hot cooler and a cold cooler with items for their daily meal which include a meat, starch, 2 vegetables, bread, drink, dessert and soup or salad depending on the day. You will deliver the meals in your own vehicle. This usually takes from 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours to 8 to 15 people depending on the route. If you are limited on your time please indicate to us and we can provide a shorter route. You can just leave the meal with the recipient at the door or visit with them briefly as you have time. After delivering meals you will return the coolers to the pickup location. If you have questions at any time or comments about a recipient our office is available to help you by calling 863-299-1616. We appreciate our caring volunteers!

As one caregiver said of her Care Team: "I truly am grateful for our team.
