Volunteer Opportunities

MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OLDER ADULTS 

There has never been a time more critical to make a difference for our seniors. Volunteers are the heart of Meals on Wheels of Mercer County. Your day will be brightened by the participant's smile that greet you while delivering meals. Whether delivering meals, assisting in the office or  a special event, volunteering is truly “Food for the Soul.”  

Sometimes a volunteer is the only person our seniors see all day.
