One in four seniors lives alone, and nearly 9.5 million seniors in America are threatened by hunger. Here in Volusia County, more than 250 screened and trained volunteers, many of whom have been with COA for several years, deliver nutritious meals to local seniors, working tirelessly to promote good nutrition, health, and independence while providing critical social interaction and wellbeing checks.
While most Meals on Wheels clients use the program on a long-term or permanent basis, home-delivered meals are also available on a short-term basis for those people in temporary situations (recovering at home from surgery, etc.). As funding is available, qualified seniors are eligible for meal services at no charge or with a modest co-payment. In addition to our Meals on Wheels program we have dining sites throughout Volusia that will be re-opening soon for clients to come sit, eat and congregate at. We need volunteers willing to help in the kitchen to pack meals for our drivers, at the front desk to help check in our clients, and to help with setup and clean up in our dining areas. We love our amazing volunteers who help us to feed seniors in our communities with their dedication and willingness to help when and where they can. We couldn't do this without people like you!
