Dates Volunteer is Needed:
Every weekday from 10 am to 1:30 pm.
Description of the Volunteer Opportunity:
Meals on Wheels of Albuquerque is the only home delivered meal program preparing special diets. We prepare these special diets for a variety of needs, including diabetes, renal failure, heart issues, chewing and swallowing problems, etc. We receive no federal or state funding.
Through grants, donations, and the support of the community, we started the Low Income Food & Enrichment Program (L.I.F.E.). This program is for those meeting the federal government’s defined poverty level of $900/month or less and who require a special diet due to health issues.
Our program is currently the only one of its kind in the Albuquerque metro area. We provide our services to anyone of any age. There are no restrictions for age or disability. We currently have clients in their 20’s to our oldest client who just celebrated her 103rd birthday. We can provide meals for any duration whether they are needed during a period of recuperation or for many years.
Who Will Be Impacted Through This Project:
The hungry and homebound of Albuquerque need your help now more than ever!
