    Description

    Join Meals on Wheels West to deliver nutritious meals to homebound neighbors in Venice/Marina del Rey!

    Volunteers deliver nutritious meals and provide friendly Wellness Checks, helping prevent both poor nutrition and isolation among people of all ages and incomes.

    📅 When:

    Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays

    10:45 AM – 1:45 PM (routes take about 2 hours)

    🚗 What You’ll Do:

    As a Delivery Driver, you’ll:

    • Adopt a route to take on a weekly delivery route so clients know they can count on you.
    • Deliver meals and Wellness Checks to 10–15 homebound clients.
    • Distribute meals which consist of hot lunches, sides, milk, fruit, and frozen meals (on select days).

    While we welcome any time you can give, we are especially seeking volunteers who can commit to serving with us on a consistent basis, such as weekly or every other week. This consistency helps us build stronger relationships with our clients and ensures the reliable support they depend on.

    Please note: All volunteers must complete the full onboarding process before coming to our office to volunteer. If you have not been in contact with our team, please wait until you receive confirmation and instructions.
