Deliver Meals to Older Adults in Roseville!

Volunteering with Optage Meals provides a golden opportunity to help older individuals in your community! Our volunteers deliver much more than a meal—they bring warm smiles and much-needed safety checks to seniors and adults with disabilities. As a driver, you will make valued connections with your neighbors and help them remain independent in their own homes. Volunteers deliver meals to clients, put away meals in clients' freezers, and bring cheer to everyone they interact with. Volunteers are invited to bring their spouse, children, or grandchildren in the car with them!
