About This Opportunity

Did you know we make and deliver hundreds of meals daily from Monday through Friday? The Meals on Wheels program provides older adults and adults with different abilities (who for various reasons are unable to cook their own meals) with hot and/or frozen nutritious meals. Meals are delivered by volunteers over the lunch hour, while also providing a short friendly chat and a check on their wellbeing; enabling our clients in Waterloo Region to live at home with independence and dignity.
