Needed: cheery volunteers for meals' delivery
POTTSTOWN PA – Montgomery County Family Services’ Meals On Wheels program needs volunteers to pack and deliver meals to home-bound elderly and disabled individuals in the greater Pottstown area, agency Marketing Director Karen Konnick said Thursday (June 23, 2011).
Each weekday, Meals On Wheels provides two meals – a hot lunch, and a cold supper to refrigerate – to an average of 160 home-bound elderly and disabled individuals in Pottstown, Royersford and the Lower Perkiomen Valley. Volunteers personally deliver more than 81,000 meals a year.
Volunteers meet weekdays at Family Services’ Pottstown office, 1976 E. High St., Sanatoga PA, to pack meals during one of two shifts: from 8–10:15 a.m., or from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Those who deliver meals arrive at the office at 10:30 a.m., and take about 90 minutes to complete their routes. Drivers must have a valid driver’s license, current insurance and their own reliable vehicle.
Most volunteers commit to packing or delivering meals once a week; others volunteer on a substitute basis. Training is provided.
