Bring hope to the homebound.
Delivery Volunteers
Dedicate one hour to delivering meals and check-ins to 10-15 clients on a delivery route on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Individual
Volunteers
No matter what your schedule is like, we can find a route for you—whether you want to deliver weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or just occasionally. You can also choose a route located near your home or office.
Route
Substitutes
Sometimes our scheduled volunteers are unable to make their routes due to illness or other commitments. If you are interested in becoming a substitute, sign up for emails to get notifications on open routes!
Route
Partners
We have nearly 100 Corporate and Community Route Partners who deliver meals regularly to our clients.

mobile Meals app for delivery
Download our ServTracker Mobile Meals app to use when you deliver meals.
- It’s easy to download and makes delivering easier with the use of Google or Apple Maps with turn by turn directions.
- The real-time data increases efficiency for our team back at the office who are answering questions from clients about their meal deliveries.
- It’s safer for our clients. Their information stays secure rather than printed out on a paper route sheet that could be left anywhere.
Review our mobile app one-sheet for directions on how to download and use the app.
Other Volunteer Opportunities

Assist staff members with office administration tasks on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tasks will vary depending on the week each month.
Meal distribution
Volunteers are needed Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10:30 until 12 pm to greet in-coming volunteers, hand out route sheets and answer questions.
