Many local seniors are homebound and struggle to obtain healthy meals. Hundreds have no one to talk with or check on them on a regular basis. When volunteers come to the door with a hot meal Monday through Friday, the food and visit help these seniors stay healthy and independent longer.

The Meals on Wheels Program delivers a nutritious noontime meal to homebound senior adults age 60 and over. Guilford County residents age 60 and over who are homebound and unable to obtain and prepare a nutritious meal for themselves are eligible for this service. There may be a waiting list in certain parts of Guilford County if the route in that area is full.

Volunteers from the faith community, local businesses and schools work in pairs to deliver the meals, which are prepared by a local caterer. The volunteers also check on the well-being of each senior they visit. We welcome individual volunteers, community organizations, and local businesses to participate in helping to bring a hot meal and a warm smile to seniors who are homebound.

Deliveries generally take about an 1.5 hours Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Routes are available all over Guilford County and volunteers can deliver as often as their schedules allows.  Contact Chandler Schmidt at 336-373-4816 extension 284 or send an email to find out how to volunteer.
