Deliver More Than Just A Meal
Calgary
Meals on Wheels is looking for volunteer Meal Delivery Drivers and Couriers to
help ensure members of our community have reliable access to nutritious food
and compassionate human connection.
Each
weekday, we deliver meals to over 550 clients, many of whom rely on this
service to remain independent in their own homes. For some, a Meals on Wheels
volunteer may be the only friendly face they see that day.
Why Volunteer With Calgary Meals on Wheels?
Make an
immediate, tangible difference | Your time directly supports food security and
well‑being, with instant impact and heartfelt
appreciation from clients.
Create
moments of meaningful connection | Simple greetings and brief check‑ins help reduce social isolation and bring comfort and joy.
Support
independence in your community | Meal delivery allows clients to stay in their
homes longer, maintaining autonomy and quality of life.
Be part of
a proven, community‑wide effort
• Over 1 million meals delivered
each year for the past four years
• 37,000+ volunteer hours donated
last year alone
• A service that has never missed a
scheduled delivery since 1965
Volunteer Opportunities (10:30 AM – 1:00 PM, Monday–Friday)
Regular
Route – Choose a day of the week and frequency that works for you (weekly, bi‑weekly, monthly). You’ll be matched with a consistent route in your quadrant of the city,
allowing you to get to know both the route and the clients you serve.
Flexible
Spares – Can’t commit to a regular schedule? Flexible spares help cover planned
and last‑minute gaps. Available routes are
posted online, letting you choose shifts that fit your availability.
Couriers
(Downtown, no personal vehicle required) – Partner with a staff driver in a
branded Calgary Meals on Wheels van and deliver meals as a team. Courier roles
can be scheduled regularly or on a fill‑in basis.
We
recognize that volunteers use their own vehicles and fuel for deliveries. To
help offset this, we offer a Gas Rebate Program for drivers.
Requirements
• Availability between 10:30 AM –
1:00 PM, at least one weekday
• Valid Alberta Driver’s Licence and
reliable vehicle (not required for Couriers)
• Completion of a Vulnerable Sector
Check, interview, references, and training
Our Volunteers Tell Us...
“I love the
little moments: sharing a laugh, paying someone a compliment, or seeing their
eyes light up when you connect. Those are the things that stay with you.”
“The
biggest impact has been the connections you make with clients along the way and
being able to make a difference in the community, if only a small one.”
Since 1965,
Calgary Meals on Wheels has relied on the dedication of volunteers to deliver
not just meals, but care, connection, and community. Each weekday, more than 65
volunteers help serve over 60 routes across the city — and we’d love for you to
be one of them.
