Winnipeg MB, Canada Volunteer Manitoba Full time

Meals on Wheels provides meals to those who are unable to obtain or prepare meals for themselves. While providing nutritious food is an important part of the Organization's services, the daily visit from volunteers is equally important to clients. For many of them, the volunteer visit is their only contact with another individual during the day and therefore eases the feeling of loneliness. For the families and friends of clients, they are assured that a trained volunteer provides meals to them on a regular basis giving them the confidence of security that their loved ones are provided for. These factors set us apart from the frozen food sections in grocery stores.

Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering with Meals on Wheels
Volunteers are the heart of Meals on Wheels, donating their time and energy to deliver nutritious meals to Winnipeg's senior citizens, people with disabilities, and vulnerable members of the community.

Volunteer Manitoba is located on the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
