    Description

    Are you looking for a meaningful way to connect with your community and brighten someone's day? Age Well Senior Services is South Orange County's Meals on Wheels provider, and we're looking for compassionate, reliable volunteers at senior centers across the region.

    When you deliver a meal, you are delivering much more than food—you are providing a vital wellness check and a cheerful, friendly connection for homebound seniors who often cannot leave their homes.

    Ways to Help

    • 🚗 Permanent Drivers: Deliver the same route on a regular weekly schedule (one or more days, Monday–Friday).
    • 🔁 Substitute Drivers: Fill in when regular drivers are away. A great fit if you want to help without a weekly commitment.
    • 📦 Non-Driving Helpers: Help pack and load meals, or ride along with a driver.

    Where We Need You

    Routes start from senior centers serving Aliso Viejo, Dana Point, Irvine (Lakeview and Trabuco), Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, San Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano.

    ⏰ Hours: Weekdays, generally between 9:30/10:00 AM and 1:30/2:00 PM. Routes typically take about 1 to 1½ hours. Your site manager will confirm your shift once you're approved.

    Requirements to Get Started

    • Drivers must be 18 years or older.
    • Drivers need a valid driver's license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance.
    • Completion of an online Volunteer Application and background check.

    Non-Driving Volunteers: Volunteers 16 and older may help or ride along without a parent or guardian. Volunteers under 16 are welcome with an approved parent or guardian present.
