Hello, Galveston County!
We need your help, delivering delivering lunch meals and brief, friendly visit to homebound seniors, throughout Galveston County, including both mainland and the island. We have needs in areas, including Bolivar Peninsula, Bacliff, Santa Fe, Texas City, Dickinson, San Leon, League City, La Marque and Friendswood. We are also looking for additional Hubs/Sites, so please let us know if your faith community, business, civic group, etc. is open to learning about what it means to be a Meals on Wheels Site. :-)
Responding to this need will register you, as an individual, for becoming a Meals on Wheels Delivery Volunteer. After completion of your New Volunteer Training, we can share with you where we most need volunteer support and you can choose your delivery area, from those needs. All of the seniors on any MOW route live close to one another and a volunteer route typically delivers to 12-15 homes, between 10:00 AM and 12 noon, on your assigned weekday. Our MOW Galveston County Program utilizes volunteer delivery support Monday-Thursday, weekly. Delivering should take approximately 90 minutes, including loading your car and delivery time. It's a great way to spend your lunch break!
How do I sign up? Two steps:
- First, Click "Respond" to this need and you will be prompted to complete all necessary steps(including Qualifications and Background Check) to be ready to volunteer, at Interfaith Ministries.
- Then, email Volunteer Services at volunteerinfo@imgh.org and let us know you're ready for New Volunteer Training! :)
Kiddos are welcome to tag along on meal deliveries, but do not need to register. The Driver must be 18 years of age or older. You are invited to bring along a Delivery Buddy, so long as all adults in the vehicle complete their volunteer registration and training.
