We need and appreciate your help! By volunteering, you help bring love, concern, hope and friendship to the elderly and disabled homebound in our community. If you are interested in helping us in any way, please call our offices: Johnson County at (817) 558-2840, or Ellis County at (972) 351-9943, or send us an e-mail: Whitney Patterson.
Meals-on-Wheels could not operate one day without
the help of its volunteers. Over 650 caring volunteers deliver our meals
Monday through Friday. They not only deliver nutritious meals, they also
help to ensure the safety of our clients.
Recently, a volunteer found a client who had fallen and another volunteer
discovered a gas leak in a recipient's kitchen. Help was called immediately.
In both cases, the volunteers were able to prevent potentially dangerous
situations. Daily contact is as important as the meals we serve.
A meal route takes approximately 45 minutes to deliver with convenient
pick-up sites located throughout each county, in each community. Pick-up
sites throughout Johnson County include Alvarado, Burleson, Cleburne,
Grandview, Godley, Joshua, Keene, Lillian, Rio Vista and Venus; and in
Ellis County include Bardwell, Ennis, Ferris, Italy, Maypearl, Midlothian,
Milford, Palmer, Red Oak, and Waxahachie. Click here to view our community map with pick-up sites and times.
Volunteers can also help in our offices by assisting as pick-up site
volunteers and other clerical duties.
Our diverse volunteers include professionals, retirees, civic club members,
church groups, youth groups, and corporate volunteers. Many volunteer
with spouses, friends, or young children to teach them the importance
of volunteerism and helping one another.
