Meals-On-Wheels Of New Rochelle Is Looking For Volunteers

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Meals-on-Wheels of New Rochelle says that it is looking for volunteer drivers to deliver meals to the homebound elderly who have no other way of getting a hot daily meal.

"Your help is urgently needed," the organization said. "Meals-on-Wheels would not be complete without the two-footed angels who drive the wheels and serve the meals — always with a cheerful greeting."

Delivery takes about one hour, and meals are delivered at 11 a.m., 7 days a week. Volunteers meet at Montefiore/New Rochelle Hospital.

For more information and/or to sign up as a volunteer, contact the Meals-on-Wheels office at 914-576-3865.

Meal-on-Wheels of New Rochelle has provided over 500,000 meals over the past four decades. Around 60 to 70 recipients currently have hot meals delivered seven days a week.

According to the organization, "it's more than a meal." It's also "a listening ear, a warm smile, a familiar voice, a comforting touch, a daily wellness check."

If you know someone who is homebound and in need of meals, contact Meals-on-Wheels of New Rochelle at 914-576-3865 or at this email address.
