Help Us Keep the Meals Rolling This Winter

The holidays are a season of giving, and for many of our clients, a friendly volunteer at the door is the brightest part of the day. But this time of year, our volunteer ranks run thin. Many of our regular drivers travel to see family, and cold and flu season keeps others home. Meanwhile, the need never takes a holiday: SOS Meals on Wheels prepares more than 1600 meals every day for homebound seniors throughout the holidays. That’s where you come in!

Drivers deliver 15 to 20 meals in about two hours, picking up in San Leandro, Oakland, Castro Valley or Fremont. 

Prefer to stay in one place? Join our San Leandro kitchen or warehouse crew for 2.5 hour shifts between 9am and 3pm.

Looking for a meaningful activity for family and friends during winter vacation?  We welcome groups of all sizes and volunteering is a family affair: kids can ride along on a parent’s delivery route, and teens 14 and up can help in the kitchen and warehouse.

Even one shift makes a difference. Visit sosmow.org/volunteer-opportunities to learn more and sign up here. Questions? Email volunteer@sosmow.org.

This season, give the gift of your time.
