Meals on Wheels Rockland

Volunteer

Hundreds of dedicated volunteers deliver meals to individuals who are homebound, provide general assistance in Senior Centers and in the Adult Day Care Centers, participate in the Music Makers, work at special events and help our staff with day to day activities as well as teach, coach and administer the Adult Learning Center program. All programs rely on the support of invaluable volunteers.

• Homebound Meal Delivery Volunteers - assist by delivering meals to frail, elderly and lonely homebound individuals for one hour, once a week. Deliveries are made Monday through Friday at approximately 11:00 am. Volunteers can also deliver on a less frequent basis such as on holidays only. Individuals or families are welcome to participate. Volunteers must have a valid driver's license and provide their own transportation. Volunteers can also sign up to be substitute or snow day delivery drivers only. Substitute drivers will be placed on delivery lists based on the areas where they prefer to drive and will be called only when an opening occurs.
• Commissary Volunteers - assist with meal preparation of about 1500 meals per day at our Nanuet commissary Monday through Friday between 7:30 am and 10:00 am. Volunteer any day or everyday. Volunteers can gain useful job skills while helping neighbors in their community. Volunteers must be over the age of 12.
• Senior Center Volunteers - provide center participants with musical entertainment, educational programs, arts and crafts projects, manicures, or assist with board games, card games and serving lunch. Volunteers are needed during shifts Monday through Friday between 10:00 am and 1:30 pm.
• Adult Day Care Center Volunteers - assist with many of the same tasks as in the Senior Centers with programs geared to enhance the cognitive and physical skills of participants who are frailer than those in the Senior Centers. Volunteers are needed at Adult Day Care centers during shifts Monday through Friday between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm.
• Adult Learning Center Volunteers - instruct and coach computer classes taught to adults ages 50 and over. Volunteers also assist with administrative tasks.
• Administrative Volunteers - help with many office tasks that are essential to the agency such as assembling brochures, sorting newsletters, preparing mailings, counting coin donations and many other administrative tasks. Help is also needed covering our multi-line phone system between the hours of 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm only on weekdays.
• Music Makers - volunteers are part of an older adult singing troupe which performs musical reviews and bring cheer to various groups in Rockland County.
