Volunteers
The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.
Volunteering at Chestnut Hill Meals on Wheels of Greater can be a very rewarding personal experience. Volunteer drivers do more than deliver a hot, nutritious meal…they also provide a valuable confirmation that our recipients are safe that day. And our smile and friendly greeting can also mean a lot to those who live alone.
The gift of your time can make a difference in someone’s life. Volunteers are often the only contact during the day that many of our clients receive. A critical part of volunteering is to check on the well-being of our clients. Your gift of time might be a life saver!
The greatest need in all area programs is for regular and substitute drivers. Our driver volunteers do not receive any direct reimbursement for the use of their personal autos, but all miles driven in connection with their volunteer service are entirely tax-deductible on their personal tax returns. Volunteers are also needed to serve, meal packers, interviewers. We are required to do a background check for all volunteer positions.
Don’t wait, our clients need your help today. Call us at 215.233.5555
