Spotlight On Iona’s Weekend Meals Volunteers

Spotlight On Iona’s Weekend Meals Volunteers

As we approach the end of National Volunteer Month, we wanted to highlight our appreciation for our Weekend Meal volunteers. Every Saturday morning, our volunteers cover 14 separate delivery routes, ensuring we reach all of our older neighbors who rely on us for healthy and filling meals. Many of our volunteers even make their Saturday trips a family affair, with the entire household participating. Our volunteers come in all ages, from babies to retirees. All are welcome!

Thank you for dedicating a couple of hours each Saturday morning to pack, sort, and deliver meals. With your support and commitment, we’re delivering thousands of meals every year! In celebration of Volunteer Month, volunteers shared what makes volunteering at Iona extra special.

Take a look at the photo gallery to see what they had to say.

Want to volunteer with us?

Summer is a peak time for volunteering at Iona. It’s a time when our volunteers are in high demand because so many of our regular volunteers take vacation. We need your support! We value whatever time and talent you have to offer, and will work with your schedule to make your experience meaningful and enjoyable.
