Happy Friday the 13th, Prince William! Let's dive right into all of the upcoming events and volunteer needs for our community!
· Is your business, church, or club looking for a group opportunity? Meals on Wheels is looking for groups who can help with delivery of hot, nutritious meals to homebound seniors on weekdays throughout the Greater Prince William community. Currently meals are delivered on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. Groups can help expand deliveries by making them available on additional weekdays. Routes take about 1.5 hours to complete. Groups will help tremendously as they not only deliver hot meals but also provide a friendly face and visit for a homebound senior to look forward to!

Volunteers age 21 and up are needed to help with programs in areas such as nutrition, fitness, creative arts, games and more.

Planned resources include nutritious low-cost meals, healthy snacks, social and recreational opportunities at the Senior Centers, and much more! Participating partners represent county agencies, health and wellness partners, and nonprofit organizations.
