Increase Morale
Volunteering can be both a powerful and fulfilling experience encouraging happiness and productivity.
Meals on Wheels does incredible work making sure our neighbors are cared for, and we were honored to be part of that for a day. It's the kind of organization that makes our community stronger, and we're grateful for the chance to support it.

Faith Communities
Heritage United Methodist Church
Congregational Outreach
Adopting a route is a wonderful way for your congregation to serve together. Members simply rotate delivery days, and your church's Meals on Wheels Liaison helps coordinate the calendar so no shift is missed.
Quaker Memorial Presbyterian Church
Seasonal Gift Drives
Bring your church together to host a Birthday Box build. By packing boxes filled with thoughtful, small gifts, your members will brighten the faces of Meals on Wheels recipients and ensure everyone is remembered on their birthday.
Collect Animal Food
Because pets are family to, we accept donations of pet food and pet care items for the furry family members of Meals on Wheels recipients to support the Animeals program.
Offer your congregation a tangible, flexible extension of your ministry to live out its mission in your community, and neighborhoods through consistent delivery routes, seasonal gift drives, or collaborative outreach.
