About Opportunity
Meals on Wheels Drivers required to drive council van in Hamilton/Blantyre area to help deliver hot meals to the elderly or house bound. Without this service these people may not be able to live at home. All our drivers are trained in food safety. All our Meals on Wheels volunteers make a significant difference to peoples lives, some old people are so isolated they only see the volunteer who delivers their meal. A lot of clients befriend the volunteers and look forward to their visit. The volunteers all say they get a 'feel good' feeling after being on their rounds. We offer total support, training and guidance to all our volunteers. We also require Escorts to go along with the Driver to deliver the meals.
