Adopt-A-Route Meals on Wheels Program
Meals on Wheels - (MOW) - Grants
|
Meals on Wheels are provided to homebound seniors over the age of 60. The meals are from
a varied menu and provide one third of the daily nutritional requirements, with no added salt, butter, seasons or sugar. A hot
meal is delivered by volunteers Monday through Friday between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Frozen meals for weekend consumption
can be provided based on individual need. This program has no set fee, but graciously accepts donations.

Please join us in our efforts to
bring a hot meal, a warm smile and necessary care services to the frail homebound seniors in our community.
Four simple steps:
1. Contact Council on Aging to schedule a presentation for your business or organization by calling 386-253-4700
ext. 208 or ext. 216.
2. Choose an available route in or near your neighborhood, business, or civic organization. If you prefer,
we can help you choose the route most in need of volunteer drivers.
3. Form a pool of volunteers to deliver the meals
at lunchtime. Delivery starts at 10:30 am. We have found this venture works better with teams of two people.
4. Training will
be provided by Council on Aging.
Adopting-A-Route helps promote a team spirit for companies whose cultures emphasize the
importance of philanthropy and community outreach. Adoptive organizations receive a framed Certificate of Adoption and Appreciation
for their business or organization and recognition in the Counsel Newsletter that is sent to over 13,000 Volusia County residents,
businesses and organizations.
