I've been volunteering with Meals on Wheels (MOW) for over two years now and I love it. The shifts are every other week for roughly 1.25 hours. I usually take an early lunch, so the time it takes to drive to the MOW kitchen, deliver meals, and return to the office is from 10:45 am to 12 pm. The process involves picking up 10-13 hot meals (tv dinner-like) that have been freshly prepared that morning and corresponding cold meals (juice, fruit, bread, etc.) and delivering the meals to residents within a specific neighborhood or area. Most deliveries are quick and short, but there are some residents that love talking to you (!!) so it's nice to be able to interact with them. There are different kitchen locations all around the city for food pickup, so if there is a location next to your work, I'd highly recommend volunteering for MOW if you can take an hour or so off during your lunch break. :) read more
