Senior Dining Program - Home-delivered Meals

Critical Areas of Need: Montgomery -- New Windsor -- Town of Newburgh

700 Homebound seniors on over 68 different routes throughout Orange County receive meal deliveries three days per week through the work of volunteer drivers who pick up their meal containers at a local drop site, deliver the route and then return the empty containers to the drop site. Volunteers are asked to call the meal recipient upon arrival outside their home, so the meal package can be readily dropped off quickly and safely at the door.

Most routes are picked up at a local drop site around 10:30am and take about an hour to complete delivery. Volunteers will need their own insured vehicles for this activity. Bring a friend and serve your neighbors together!

All training will be provided to ensure a safe and comfortable volunteer experience. We will match you with a scheduled experienced volunteer to do a shadow training to familiarize you with the route book and delivery procedures.

Volunteers age 55+ can also enroll in our AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP program to receive a 25 cents per mile reimbursement (call 845-615-3728 to inquire about this benefit.)
