IMPACT PARTNERS

Our supporters come to us from various sources. Some of our best partnerships are those we have formed with local faith communities, businesses, and civic organizations that share our desire to serve. They recognize how easy it is to brighten the lives of others through Meals on Wheels. Read below to see how your organization or business can get involved.

Business & Civic Partners

Deliver a route in about 90 minutes

Flexible commitment options - you decide

Each employee team (of 2) delivers less frequently

Help the homebound – deliver a meal, a smile, and peace of mind

  • Team Building

    Employee volunteer committments are great for co-workers to engage & bond.

  • Improved Brand Perception

    Consumers will associate your organization with the good work you do.

  • Attract the Best Talent

    Corporate responsibility is a driving career factor when seeking new employment.

  • Increase Morale

    Volunteering can be both a powerful and fulfilling experience encouraging happiness and productivity.

Faith Communities

  • Deliver a route in about 90 minutes

  • Pull from the entire congregation, a Sunday School class, circle, or small group

  • Decide how often your group can deliver – once a month, twice a month, once a week. Each team (of 2) delivers less frequently

  • Build Church-Family Ties

    Every opportunity to serve, outside of corporate worship, strengthens the family bonds.

  • Cross-Generational Connections

    This is an opportunity for members of all ages to come together on a regular basis

  • Serve Where You Live

    There may even be a route available in your church neighborhood!

Creating a Group

Determine interest and long-term willingness. While we realize situations change for everyone, we hope this can be a longer-term relationship between your group and Meals on Wheels.

  • Decide how much time / how often your group is willing to commit.

  • Will you have enough volunteers to form teams of two for delivery?

  • What frequency can your volunteers meet the need to deliver?

    • once a week (i.e., every Wednesday – or whatever day is available that works for your group) 52 times per year

    • twice a month (i.e., 2nd and 4th Tuesday) 26 times per year

    • once a month (i.e., 3rd Friday) 12 times per year

Your Advocacy is Vital - Coordinate Your Group

Help keep the Meals on Wheels mission in front of your business or group:

- Act as the liaison between your group and Meals on Wheels; one person will need to be designated in this Coordinator position.

- Recruit individuals (or teams of 2) to submit Volunteer Applications and deliver a regularly scheduled route.

- Help schedule MOW staff to share at staff meetings or stated meetings.

- Encourage leadership to include financial support for MOW or sponsorship of events in the annual budget.

- Periodically submit information / reminders about MOW for newsletters (we will provide this information).

- Suggest MOW service projects for group involvement: make, fill and donate Birthday Boxes; collect pet food for Animeals program; special.
