Opportunity Details

Prep Meals at Meals on Wheels People Multnomah Village (age 18+) *MLK Weekend*

  Hands On Managed projects offer you an opportunity to join a group of volunteers on a done-in-a-day project led by a Hands On Volunteer Leader

Join us in honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to our community: "Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve."
-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Prepare lunch for local seniors and make their day! 

The Meals on Wheels Central Kitchen is a high-production environment working in a state-of-the-art 14,000 square foot industrial kitchen, where we produce over 5,700 meals every day! Volunteers will work with kitchen staff to support efficient production of meals which may include assisting with the pre-plate program for distribution into individual hot meal trays, preparing cold meal packs, and assisting with backing and salad prep.

Volunteers must wear long pants and closed toed shoes to volunteer in the kitchen. All volunteers must fill out the Meals On Wheels Volunteer Registration form prior to volunteering. Please plan on joining us for lunch after the project if you are available. 

Meals on Wheels People seeks to enrich the lives of seniors and assist them in maintaining independence by making available nutritious food, social contact, and other resources. Over 5,000 meals are served daily to homebound seniors and others at 34 meal sites.
