Meals on Wheels is seeking additional volunteers from

Arlington Interfaith Council congregations. We

already have over 31 congregations in our pool of

volunteers, yet we still have routes to fill. AIC

congregations have been the main support of Meals on

Wheels since its beginning. We have delivery

commitments that are monthly or some that only require

service eight times each year.

We are in immediate need of congregations to volunteer

to be scheduled on fifth weeks of the month

Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday rotations.

Meals on Wheels of Northern Virginia, an all volunteer

operation, has delivered meals to homebound neighbors

for over 30 years. Each day Meals on Wheels of

Northern Virginia makes it possible for over 150

elderly or disabled people to live independently, with

dignity, in their own home. I can help you organize

your team with one volunteer coordinator from your

congregation.

Delivering meals is a simple and rewarding way to

spend one extended lunch hour per month. Volunteers

deliver meals to the homebound between 11:00 a.m. and

12:30 p.m.. Schedules are somewhat flexible so

people can be scheduled to help whenever they are

available. Each volunteer team is scheduled only once

per month. We dispatch drivers with meals from the

Ballston area. Our delivery program operates in the

parking lot of First Presbyterian Church (across from

the Ballston Commons Mall) each Monday through Friday.

Directions, maps and food are provided when the

driver arrives at the First Presbyterian Church

parking lot. This is a well organized opportunity for

the volunteer teams.
