We love and need our volunteers.
For the last, almost, 50 years volunteer drivers have been the heart and soul of Mobile Meals. It would have been, and would still be, absolutely impossible for this program to succeed without the hundreds of volunteers who have given of their time and resources to support Mobile Meals. WE THANK YOU!!!
If you are interested in volunteering as a driver, contact our Coordinator to discuss available options.
