Read what one of our volunteers has to say:

   “I deliver meals every Tuesday and I look forward to seeing all the wonderful people on my route. They seem to appreciate me for bringing them a meal. I have gotten to know them over the past 5 years, and they have gotten to know me. Everyone needs to feel like there is someone out there looking out for them and for the 8 people on my route, I believe we are grateful to have each other."

- David

TOGETHER WE CAN DELIVER

The Issue

The aging population is escalating rapidly, and so is the need for volunteers. Join our group of volunteers who are the heart of the effort that keeps the wheels turning. When we all do our small part, great things can happen.

Volunteers pick up prepared meals at Poudre Valley Hospital between 10:50 and 11:20a.m. (pick up times are staggered between that time.)  Most routes can be delivered within 60 minutes.

OUR SOLUTION

A once-a-week commitment can make a world of difference for a senior in need. For more information about volunteering, contact us at volunteer@fcmow.org or call the office at 970-484-6325.
