    Description

    The holiday season and winter months can be the loneliest time of year for our homebound seniors. We need compassionate Volunteer Meal Delivery Drivers to ensure these neighbors receive a nutritious meal and, just as important, a friendly, caring connection.

    Join our dedicated team serving communities across South Orange County!

    We Need You at These Locations:

    You can pick up meals at a convenient senior center or community facility serving any of these areas:

    • Aliso Viejo
    • Dana Point
    • Irvine/Trabuco
    • Laguna Beach
    • Laguna Hills
    • Laguna Niguel
    • Mission Viejo
    • Rancho Santa Margarita
    • San Clemente
    • San Juan Capistrano

    Your Impact This Season

    When you deliver a meal, you are delivering much more than food—you are providing a vital safety check and a cheerful moment for a population that often cannot leave their homes. This is a fantastic opportunity to make an immediate and personal difference right here in our community when it matters most.

    The Commitment

    • When: Deliveries take place at least one day a week, Monday through Friday.
    • Timeframe: You’ll arrive at an area Senior Center pickup location between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM. Routes usually take only 1 to 1.5 hours to complete.

    Choose Your Volunteer Style

    We offer flexible options to fit your holiday schedule:

    • Permanent Drivers: Commit to a regular weekly schedule and build a consistent relationship with the seniors on your route.
    • Substitute Drivers: Crucial for the holidays! We need reliable substitutes to cover for our regular drivers who take time off. We will contact you when a regularly scheduled driver is unavailable, trying to give a week or two notice, though sometimes we may only have one day's notice.

    Requirements to Get Started

    To ensure the safety of our clients and staff:

    • You must be 18 years or older to drive.
    • We require a valid driver's license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance.
    • Completion of an online Volunteer Application & background check.

    Note: Minors are welcome to accompany an adult driver with proper documentation on file.

    Ready to Share the Warmth?

    Help us make sure no senior goes without a meal or a friendly hello this winter. We’d love to welcome you to our team!
