Volunteer Opportunities
Everyone has something to give! Meals on Wheels of Denton County aims to build community by engaging people to help each other meet daily essential needs. Neighbors volunteer their time and talent to help seniors live with dignity and independence. Volunteers may be the only contact the seniors have with other people every weekday.
Whether you have only a few hours one day a week or can volunteer every day, your assistance is much needed!
