    Description

    Help needed in South Austin!  Deliver hot lunch and friendly smiles with Meals on Wheels Central Texas.

    We have furthered our partnership with UpRising Church in South Austin, and will now be an additional pick-up site for our weekday meal delivery!

    Weekly Meal Delivery Driver

    Looking for a meaningful route? Take a regular route one specific day per week (or more, if you’d like!), delivering meals between 10:45 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

    Why it’s great:

    • A consistent, predictable schedule
    • The opportunity to build relationships with the same neighbors each week
    • Flexibility when life happens—we’ll arrange a substitute if you’re unavailable

    Flexible Meal Delivery Driver (Substitute)

    Need something more flexible? Substitute drivers help cover open routes as needed, making this ideal for busy or changing schedules.

    • Why it’s great: No ongoing commitment—serve when you’re available
    • Variety of routes and experiences
    • A direct, immediate impact each time you volunteer

    Meal Managing (On-Site Support)

    Prefer to stay off the road? Meal Managers play a vital role in making sure every delivery runs smoothly at the pick-up site between 10:30 am and 12:30 pm.

    • What you’ll do:Distribute meals and route sheets to drivers
    • Communicate important updates and support volunteers
    • Why it’s great:A consistent weekly role (10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.)
    • No driving required
    • A social, team-oriented environment
    • Backup coverage provided when needed

    Be Part of Something Bigger

    Volunteering at the upRising Church pick-up site isn’t just about filling a role. It’s about showing up for neighbors who rely on these meals and the kindness that comes with them. Whether you can commit weekly or help when you can, your time truly matters.
