About the Activity
Meals-On-Wheels is a meal delivery programme to meet the daily needs of frail seniors. The elderly, who usually live alone, depend on volunteers to deliver their meals every day.
You can volunteer as a driver or runner.
Schedule & Commitment
Preferably once a week for lunch (9.30am – 11.45am) or dinner (3.30pm – 5.45pm) delivery.
Do note that the actual duration will depend on the number of packets of meals and the familiarity of the route to deliver meals.
Position Available
Meal Driver and/or Runner
Requirements:
- 18 years and above
- Able to walk long distance to deliver meals
- Parental consent is needed for volunteers between the ages of 13 and 17, and they must work in pairs throughout
You will pick up meals from the collection point. Each MOW team usually consists of a driver (with his / her own vehicle) and a runner (deliver meals to doorstep). For volunteers who do not drive, you will be assigned to zones with blocks clustered together. You need to take public transport and/or walk to deliver to the senior’s home.
