HOW TO VOLUNTEER FOR MEALS ON WHEELS
 1.    ADOPT A ROUTE
 
The Meal on Wheels Adopt-a-Route Program is an easy, yet effective way for companies, organizations, and churches to involve themselves in our local community. With as few as 4-5 people, a group can adopt a route and deliver meals one day a week. Or 5 people could adopt 5 routes and deliver once a month.  Many participating groups feel the program improves camaraderie by giving members the chance to work together on a project that serves the community. Contact Daphne Palmer at 352-6737 or daphne.palmer@yahsc.com, for additional information.
 
 
 2.     DELIVERY VOLUNTEER
 
Join us as a driver and meet many wonderful home bound seniors served in the Rock Springs community. Volunteers pick up meals at the Young At Heart Senior Center, Monday-Friday, between 10:30 and 11:00 a.m. They usually complete delivery by 12:00 noon. You may deliver as often as you like; however, we ask for a minimum commitment of once a month. We currently have may routes throughout Rock Springs.  
 
Meals on Wheels serves Sweetwater County seniors, age 60 or over, who are unable to cook for themselves or have no one available to cook for them, and are primarily home bound. If you or someone you know is in need of our service, contact Daphne Palmer at 352-6737.
 
Meals on Wheels provides one nutritious meal Monday-Friday, year round (some holidays excluded). The meals include an entree, vegetable, fruit, bread, and milk. Volunteers deliver meals to the client's home between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
