Support Our Mission As a Volunteer
Deliver Meals
Help support homebound seniors and adults with disabilities by volunteering with Meals on Wheels Erie. Whether you can deliver meals once a week, once a month, or occasionally, your time and kindness make a meaningful impact. Your support is essential to the health and well-being of those in need—and deeply appreciated.
Shop and Deliver Groceries
Our Grocery Shopping & Delivery Service supports those who are homebound due to age, recovery, infirmity, or disability and unable to shop for food themselves but still prefer to cook at home. Available to individuals of all ages, this service is offered countywide to ensure access to fresh, essential groceries. Our grocery shoppers deliver about once a week, a couple of times a month, or more depending on their schedule and how many clients they shop for. We try, if possible, to match you up with clients closest to your nearest Giant Eagle store or Sander’s Market.

Volunteer Testimonial
My favorite part of volunteering with Meals on Wheels is greeting those who are receiving or accepting the meals. Some are so happy to have a conversation and readily express what is happening in their lives. In my experience it appears that many live alone and look forward to this interaction. I volunteer with a dear friend and we make delivering meals a fun event to catch up on news with each other and then go out to lunch together.
Meals on Wheels is fulfilling a need in our community and it's personally very rewarding to help serve this need in such a small way.
I had a hamstring issue several years ago and my daughters ordered Meals on Wheels temporality for me since I had difficulty walking/standing for any period of time. I never imagined I would need this service, but was so grateful and appreciative of this gift.

Having spent 36 years in homes installing phones, I have seen how much people in the area need this service. It doesn’t matter what you have or have had there comes a time when a little help is needed. So giving back to the community seems like they thing to do.

It is important to me to put a face to the program, and see all that is accomplished through the funds I oversee and account for.

My favorite part of delivering MOW is the joy on the faces when they see me. Traveling in all seasons, making people smile, the privilege of being a part of their lives and hearing their stories are just a few of the positives!

I feel fortunate to be able to deliver wholesome meals to people who are homebound and unable to shop for groceries or unable to prepare their own meals. Keeping in mind some future day when some dedicated Meals On Wheels Volunteer may have to deliver meals to me or to a loved one.

I volunteer because I had Meals on Wheels for my father in law when he stayed with us, and it was a Godsend. I have a special needs child who was 3 at the time, and having a meal and a sandwich for him was SO helpful. Meals on Wheels made a difference for me during that difficult time, and I am still so very grateful for them.

My favorite part of volunteering with Meals on Wheels is interacting with our clients. Though they may be going through some issues, they seem genuinely happy to see their delivery driver, even for a brief moment. I volunteer because i feel it is important work we are doing, bringing good meals to those who may have trouble getting them on their own. It is a gratifying experience for me each week.
