Call for Volunteers In the Alliance, Wooster Areas

Meals on Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties is seeking additional volunteers to help deliver meals to homebound individuals in Wooster and the surrounding area.

“We currently have a number of openings for volunteer drivers in the Alliance and Wooster areas,” said Teresa Barry, CEO. “Often our volunteers are the only people our clients see during the day, so the volunteers deliver more than just a meal when they visit. They also provide peace of mind and a friendly smile to those who are alone.”

Each weekday, we deliver about 100 meals on five routes in the Alliance area, and 120 meals on six routes in the Wooster area. Volunteer drivers typically deliver meals one day a week, and routes takes anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes to complete. The agency provides training and mileage reimbursement to all volunteers.

For information on how to volunteer, call Meals on Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties at 1-800-466-8010, or visit their Web site at http://www.mow-starkwayne.org/.
