Deliver Meals to Seniors and Individuals Living with Chronic and Terminal ill

Delivery volunteers are our FAVORITE volunteers! This is great for people who want to have direct interaction with the clients that Open Hand serves. Volunteers will use their own vehicle and gas to deliver meals to our chronically and terminally ill clients as well as homebound senior citizens in the metro Atlanta area. Please watch both videos to fully prepare for your delivery experience: https://vimeo.com/1031321530/59266c964f?share=copy and https://tinyurl.com/WorkWave-Orientation-2020

The average route is between 1.5-3 hours. If you are able to take a longer route, please let us know by texting 678-306-6649.

Please note: Drivers must be 21 years or older, have a valid license and vehicle liability insurance. There is no age limit for passengers.
