Job Description

One in four seniors lives alone, and nearly 9.5 million seniors in America are threatened by hunger. Here in Volusia County, more than 250 screened and trained volunteers, many of whom have been with COA for several years, deliver nutritious meals to local seniors, working tirelessly to promote good nutrition, health, and independence while providing critical social interaction and wellbeing checks.

While most Meals on Wheels clients use the program on a long-term or permanent basis, home-delivered meals are also available on a short-term basis for those people in temporary situations (recovering at home from surgery, etc.). As funding is available, qualified seniors are eligible for meal services at no charge or with a modest co-payment. We love our amazing volunteers who help us to feed seniors in our communities with their dedication and willingness to drive and help when and where they can. We couldn't do this without people like you!

• Flexible schedule. We will work with you, you can volunteer as little as one day a month to as much as five days a week.
• Bring a friend. You can can signup with a spouse, partner or friend and deliver a route together.
• Not sure if it's a good fit for you? We can schedule a shadow date so you can see first hand what the volunteer position involves before making a commitment.
• Mileage Reimbursement Available. Be comfortable in your own vehicle and choose to donate your mileage or be reimbursed for it.
• Meals On Wheels Drivers must have a valid Driver's License, auto insurance and pass a background check. We also welcome kitchen help for those who choose not or are not able to drive. Have questions? Feel free to call us at
