Volunteering at Meals on Wheels of Greater St. Louis can be a very rewarding personal experience. Volunteer drivers do more than deliver a hot, nutritious meal...they also provide a valuable confirmation that our recipients are safe that day. And our smile and friendly greeting can also mean a lot to those who live alone.

The greatest need in all area programs is for regular and substitute drivers. Our driver volunteers do not receive any direct reimbursement for the use of their personal autos, but all miles driven in connection with their volunteer service are entirely tax-deductible on their personal tax returns. Volunteers are also needed to serve as day chairpersons, meal packers, interviewers, and bookkeepers. We are required to do a background check for all volunteer positions.

If you are interested in helping to carry out the work of Meals on Wheels of Greater St. Louis, please call 314-374-9549, and indicate that you would be interested in volunteering. If you receive a voice message, leave your name, callback telephone number, and your zipcode. You will be called back by someone in your local area program that can discuss volunteer options with you.
