Service Project Details

Volunteers are needed to deliver meals to our homebound neighbors in need throughout Erie and Niagara counties, especially within the City of Buffalo! As a home-delivered meal volunteer, you will help to enrich the lives of homebound seniors and disabled individuals by enabling them to maintain their dignity and independence.

It takes approximately an hour of your day to deliver meals, and you can volunteer as frequently as you wish. Depending on the home-delivered meal site you are placed at, your volunteer shift will begin anywhere between 10:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m., FeedMore WNY has home-delivered meal opportunities Mondays through Fridays in both Erie and Niagara counties.

All volunteers, who are 18 or older, will be required to fill out a background check, which will be sent electronically after application approval. Volunteers under the age of 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult, and those 16 or older are able to participate on their own. All volunteer rules and expectations can be accessed here!

The health and safety of our volunteers are top priorities. To ensure that we are keeping all of our volunteers safe we are asking anyone who has recently tested positive for COVID-19, or who is symptomatic to please stay home for the recommended five day period or until symptoms subside. As well as we ask that if you were recently exposed to someone with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 and you are unvaccinated, or vaccinated and showing symptoms, that you stay home for the recommended five days and please reschedule your volunteer shift.

We are grateful for your support!
