North Port Meals on Wheels

Volunteer drivers needed - 9:30 am to noon, Monday - Saturday

Acquire service hours while helping seniors in need. On each day of the week, multiple drivers deliver the meals after they are prepared by the kitchen team. As a driver, you arrive at the back door of the kitchen at an assigned time between 9:15-10 am to receive your pre-bagged meals. For many routes, we have drivers who deliver on the same day and route each week. Substitute drivers are also needed to help fill in when the regular drivers are unable to serve. Each route will have about 12-15 stops. We serve all of North Port city limits east of River Road.

Drivers must be at least 16 years old with a full driver's license, insurance, and proof of vaccination. You will also complete an online background check. Call 941-876-9191 to schedule a time to come into the kitchen for training. The driver coordinator will train you regarding the rules for delivering food, visiting people, and what to do in emergency situations.

Once you have been trained, you will be added to our substitution list to be contacted to drive a route when a scheduled driver is unavailable. You always have the ability to decline the opportunity If it does not fit your schedule. Once you have substituted several times, you may decide to become a regular weekly driver when a route becomes available.
