***Can you help?
If you think you might like to be a volunteer, you can call us at 717-263-7228.
***Volunteers are the backbone of the Meals on Wheels program. These remarkable people give generously of their time and energy to help homebound, usually lonely, and often very needy people. Volunteers work for an hour or two every other week. We need around 260 volunteers to fill this schedule completely.
***Kitchen Helpers
Meals are prepared and packaged each morning, Monday-Friday, so as to be ready by 11:00. The Head Cook directs the kitchen volunteers in the tasks of food prep, cooking, packing, and then cleanup.
***Delivery Volunteers
Those who deliver the meals get to know the clients on their routes, and look forward to visiting briefly with each one and brightening his or her day. They sometimes do small chores, and they can also note any signs of distress and raise an appropriate alarm if needed.
