VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Your time can change someone’s day and their future. At Meals on Wheels Greater Spokane County, volunteers are more than helping hands. They are friendly faces, meaningful connections, and a vital part of helping older adults remain independent, nourished, and connected to the community they call home. Whether you’re delivering meals, serving at a senior café, helping at events, or supporting behind the scenes, every volunteer role makes a direct local impact. When you volunteer with us, you become part of a community that believes aging should be met with dignity, compassion, and support.
MEAL DELIVERY
Help deliver nutritious meals and friendly check-ins to homebound seniors throughout Spokane County. Our drivers cover more than 1,800 square miles, delivering meals five days a week, with frozen meals included for the weekend. Each route typically takes 1.5 - 2 hours to complete. Volunteers can choose a schedule that works best for them: daily, weekly, monthly, or as a substitute driver.

KITCHEN
Join our kitchen team and help prepare nearly 1,200 meals each day for seniors in our community.

This hands-on role is a great way to make a direct impact behind the scenes.
Hours: 9:00am - 11:00am

Help create a warm and welcoming dining experience for seniors at our Senior Cafés. Volunteers may serve as greeters, servers, or kitchen support, assisting with welcoming guests, checking in diners, serving meals, preparing to-go boxes, bussing tables, light cleaning, and supporting food safety standards. Volunteers work alongside Site Hosts and staff to build community, provide friendly service, and ensure every guest feels comfortable and valued.
