Volunteer Highlight

Wilder Meals on Wheels Volunteers

Person delivering Meals on Wheels to a recipient

Due to an influx of over 50 new recipients, we have several openings for weekly or substitute volunteers in the Midway, Frogtown and surrounding areas.

Volunteer solo, with a friend or family member, or with a work or community group to deliver meals. Join us to address food insecurity and support the well-being and independence of your neighbors. Shifts take about 1.5 hours on weekday mornings.
