Our volunteers help prepare fresh, healthy, and delicious meals in our Takoma Park kitchen for our homebound neighbors. Join our volunteer team as we continue to build a strong, interconnected and compassionate community to serve our clients.

Each weekday, Meals on Wheels of Takoma Park and Silver Spring prepares two nourishing meals for hundreds of clients; our service helps them maintain their health and independence as they age, battle illness and recover from injuries. Demand for the service is rising and we're growing fast to meet the need.
Kitchen volunteers can choose a morning or midday shift to prep and pack deli meals and hot meals or prepare ingredients for the next day's meal and do cleanup.
Opportunities are suitable for students aged 14 and older. Summertime and other shorter school holidays would be a great time join us. We are open on some public holidays.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours in a public space under direct supervision of the nonprofit organization. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
