Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'

Volunteers
Volunteerism is one of the most selfless acts that we can become involved in!
We have over 55 volunteers who deliver hot and frozen meals to members of our community who are at nutritional risk. Our volunteers also provide social support, security and wellness checks.
Put your compassion into action – become a volunteer!
Volunteers play a vital role in all of the services offered by Meals on Wheels Port Colborne.
