Description:
With the help of 70-100 volunteers, MIFA delivers 2,400 hot, nutritious lunches to seniors’ homes and congregate sites each weekday. At MIFA Meals, the day begins at 3:30 a.m. when the kitchen staff arrives to begin preparing meals. Each meal fulfills at least 1/3 of the U.S. daily dietary requirement. It takes more than $3 million annually to keep MIFA Meals running.
Brighten the day of a homebound senior by delivering hot meals Monday through Friday! Deliver one time, once a month, or even once a week! Sometimes our Meals volunteer are the only personal contact our clients receive during the day - you can make a difference in our clients' lives.
Each volunteer must possess a valid driver’s license and proof of auto insurance. Volunteers should arrive at MIFA between 9:30 and 10 a.m. Monday through Friday to begin delivering meals. Each car will carry two coolers containing food items, and MIFA staff will provide explicit directions through the meals route (to about ten clients’ homes). Delivering an entire route takes approximately two hours.
How to Apply:
