    Description

    Make a real difference in your community in just a few hours a week. House of Neighborly Service is a nonprofit organization serving older adults in San Antonio’s Westside and volunteers like you help make it possible.

    For many of the seniors we serve, a meal delivery is more than food. It’s connection, kindness and a friendly face at the door. Your visit may be the highlight of their day.

    Why Your Help Matters

    Older adults in our community rely on regular meal deliveries to stay healthy and independent. Volunteers help ensure meals arrive safely and that no one feels forgotten.

    Even a short route can have a lasting impact.

    No special experience needed just reliability, kindness, and a willingness to help.

    What You’ll Do

    Volunteers use their personal vehicle to deliver meals to older adults within the 78207 area. Routes are organized and easy to follow, and our staff prepares everything in advance so you feel confident and prepared.

    We provide:

    • Delivery route and directions
    • Participant names and addresses
    • Contact phone numbers
    • On-site support at pickup

    Bringing a Guest?

    You’re welcome to bring someone along on your delivery route. Each guest must register and complete the Agency Volunteer Form. Please let us know everyone in your group so the route is recorded as one shared delivery.

    Forms & Registration

    After registering for a shift, please complete the Agency Volunteer Form. If you have already completed it for a previous shift, you do not need to submit it again.

    Scheduling Notes

    If a registration is declined or canceled, it may be because routes are full or the program is closed that day. Thank you for your understanding. If you sign up for a Monday shift over the weekend, please still plan to arrive unless notified otherwise.
