Food & Friends, the local Meals on Wheels program, is looking for volunteers to help deliver meals to homebound seniors in Jacksonville. Home-delivery drivers usually work one day a week between the hours of 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. In addition to serving a hot, nutritious meal, Food & Friends volunteers provide vital social contact and a safety net for our community’s seniors. Currently, the Jacksonville meal site needs people on Mondays and Tuesdays. Mileage reimbursement is available.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Nancy Hayes at 541-734-9505 x 4 or visit the Food & Friends website for more details.

Donations may be sent to: Food & Friends, PO Box 3275, Central Point, OR 97502

Meals on Site—Food & Friends also serves hot meals Monday through Friday, 11:30am to 12:30pm in Jacksonville in the I.O.O.F Hall at Main & Oregon Streets.
