  • Meals are packed in insulated chilly bins.
  • Deliver meals to people and have a brief chat at the door.
  • Return chilly bins to the depot
  • Go home feeling good that you’ve helped someone out today.

You’ll need to be a friendly person who has their own car and a full driver licence.

Meals on Wheels volunteer onboarding may take anywhere between 2-4 weeks depending on your availability and the availability of the local coordinator.

You'll need to follow our Health, Safety and Wellbeing policies and procedures, which will be advised during training.
