    THANK YOU for your interest in volunteering with Meals on Wheels of Denton County!

    Many of our neighbors, families, and friends depend on the kindness, dedication, and service of our volunteers.

    Meals on Wheels of Denton County is a part of Span, Inc., a 50l(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Since our founding in 1974, our mission has been to enable people to live as fully and independently as possible by providing nutrition, transportation, and social services to older persons, persons with disabilities, veterans, and to the general public.

     

    Most of our volunteer opportunities support these three local programs:

    * Home Delivered Meals

    * Senior Center (Congregate) Meals

    * Senior Paws pet food delivery

    We may also have occasional opportunities in other areas, such as special projects/events and various administrative tasks.
