bdautremontParticipantHello West Seattle Community! Do you typically have 1-2 hours available Wednesday mornings, even just once or twice a month, and want to help a great cause? Meals on Wheels is in need of volunteers to deliver meals and a smile to seniors living in West Seattle.
For more info email mealsonwheels@soundgenerations.org and/or visit our website; https://soundgenerations.org/our-programs/food-security/meals-on-wheels/volunteer/

miwsParticipantI can’t speak from the perspective of a MoW volunteer, but *can* speak from the perspective of a client.
MoW delivered meals to me from August of last year, until May of this year when I had to initially pause, and then eventually end the service due to a hospitalization and lengthy care in a skilled nursing facility.
Throughout those months, the various volunteers who delivered were wonderful. They as well as the MoW/Sound Generations staff that I dealt with genuinely cared about how I was doing.
I believe this would be a great opportunity for anyone looking to volunteer, and meets the requirements, especially those folks with natural empathy.
As I mentioned above, I had to end my deliveries. That was due to the fact that it was determined while I was still in the SNF that my S. Delridge apartment of 10+ years was no longer sustainable for me due to limitations in mobility. So, I and now in an assisted living facility, sadly, outside of W.S./White Center, but I really do like it here.
Much love to MoW/SG…
