Loaves & Fishes Centers, The Meals-On-Wheels People is seeking volunteer drivers to ensure homebound seniors in the Southwest Portland area receive nutritious meals and a bit of companionship.
“These volunteers are so invaluable because they not only help us feed our frail elderly, but they make sure these seniors see a friendly face at least once a week. Sometimes the Meals-On-Wheels driver is the only person these homebound seniors see all day,” said Executive Director Joan Smith.
Meals-On-Wheels are delivered Monday through Friday between 10:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. Drivers must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver’s license. Volunteers are also needed to help in the kitchen and to serve meals to seniors who come into the center for lunch. There are 35 locations throughout Multnomah, Washington and Clark counties to choose from. Please call 503.736.6325 for the center nearest you.
Since 1970 Loaves & Fishes Centers has provided a nutritional and social lifeline for seniors through 35 meal sites in Multnomah, Washington and Clark counties and Meals-On-Wheels delivery to homebound seniors.
