Summer/Seasonal Drivers: Monday-Friday

On-Call Drivers: Monday-Friday
An On-Call driver is a sub driver assigned to a specific day. They will be assigned to the first open route due to regular driver cancellations, the On-Call Driver plans on driving every week. If we do not have an open route, we will notify you in advance. An On-Call Driver will get a variety of routes because they will be filling in for a regular driver. We ask that our volunteers arrive at the hospital by 11 a.m.

What our volunteer is saying:
“I remember my great-grandmother receiving “Meals on Wheels” to her San Pedro California home when I was a child. The service made a lasting impression on me and I’ve always intended to volunteer for the program. I began driving for Meals on Wheels for Fort Collins last fall and have been so pleased with my interaction with the organization, volunteers and clients. I love having my set route and getting to know the grateful clients. My life has truly been enriched by Meals on Wheels and those I have met”.
