Neighborhood Meals on Wheels
Our Nation’s Most Vulnerable are Looking to You
Today, the average life expectancy is at a record high of 79 years. As we get older, even the most independent among us may experience physical declines or financial hardship that strips away our independence. Add to that an increase in geographic mobility of our families, and the result is millions of seniors left behind, hungry and alone.

Volunteer
For many seniors and people with disabilities, the trusted Meals on Wheels volunteer who shows up every day with a hot meal and a warm smile is the only person they see or speak to all day. This special delivery is a reason for each recipient to get up in the morning and have something to look forward to! It doesn’t get any better than that!
Volunteer Responsibilities
Meals are delivered every weekday during lunchtime hours. Routes take a maximum of two hours to complete. You can volunteer as often as you like – based on your schedule. Volunteering just once a month can make a significant difference to those in need!
Meals are freshly prepared every morning, Monday through Friday and delivered by volunteers to our clients homes in Norcross, Peachtree Corners, Duluth, Suwanee, Lawrenceville, Sugar Hill and Buford municipalities in Gwinnett County.
Everyone is welcome – and encouraged – to volunteer. Men and women, young and old, families, retirees, professionals – come make a difference in the life of one member of your community! What a great feeling!
Delivering Hope, One Visit at a Time
For countless seniors and individuals living with disabilities, the dependable Neighborhood Meals on Wheels volunteer who arrives each day bearing not just a nourishing hot meal but also the comforting presence of a friendly smile often represents the sole social interaction they experience throughout the day. This vital visit serves as a beacon of hope and engagement, providing each recipient with a compelling reason to rise from bed in the morning and cherish the anticipation of the day ahead. The joy and connection that come with these deliveries create a sense of purpose and warmth that is truly immeasurable, illustrating the profound impact of a simple yet meaningful gesture in the lives of those who may otherwise feel isolated. It truly embodies the essence of community support and human kindness!
