Our Dedicated volunteers are
the eyes and ears of Meals on Wheels PLUS. They are
a vital link to our program's success because of
their daily, personal contact with clients. Volunteers
provide a helping hand in numerous ways. Described here
are a few of the ways volunteers can help make a
difference. *Click

brochure.
Home Delivery Meals on Wheels PLUS depends solely
upon its volunteers to deliver daily meals.
Delivering meals only requires 1½ hours,
one day per week. If a specific area is desired,
routes
are conveniently available throughout Manatee
County and several options are available for
meal pickups. We have routes available each
day. Mileage can be reimbursed.
Friendship Dining Assistance
Your time and talents
are needed at our Friendship Dining Centers,
where seniors gather each weekday
morning to exercise, enjoy entertainment, learn
arts & crafts and enjoy a hot noon-time meal.
Your participation is needed at the Friendship
Dining location closest to you!
Adult Day Center Program
Meals on Wheels PLUS Adult
Day Center serves Manatee County functionally
impaired adults with a planned
program that includes a variety of health,

RN, who operate the
program's daily activities.
