Volunteers’ warm hearts and helping hands are the glue that holds MMOW programs together. Whether delivering meals, assisting at senior centers, working in our resale boutique, or helping with special events and fundraisers, it is our volunteers’ gift of sharing their time and hearts that makes it possible for MMOW to support our participants’ independence with dignity. Along the way, smiles, hugs, and lasting friendships brighten everyone’s path.
MMOW drivers are the friendly faces that bring good cheer and bright smiles as well as hot lunch meals Monday through Friday. Meals are prepared by local food partners and picked up at that location. It takes about 1½ hours to deliver the meals for one day. Drivers are usually scheduled to deliver meals once a month, or more frequently if they wish.
Senior Center luncheons – MMOW’s luncheons are special events for our seniors and our luncheon volunteers are MMOW ‘s special hostesses. Volunteers assist with activities, games, and food service. Luncheon days and frequency vary from center to center. Volunteers can schedule as time allows.
Sadie’s Upscale Consignment & Resale – If you love fashion and home décor, Sadie’s is the place for you! Volunteers assist in all areas of MMOW’s resale shop Monday through Saturday. Shifts are flexible to individual availability between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Volunteers may schedule on a weekly or monthly schedule as time allows.
MMOW celebrates Volunteer Appreciation week during the entire month of April by hosting a series of luncheons and afternoon get-togethers to thank our incredible volunteers for their commitment to our participants all year long.
MMOW volunteers gather for a special recognition ceremony celebrating their achievements and dedication presentation of the Decade of Love Award, the Rob Timmons Spirit Award, and the Darlene Terpening Outstanding Service Award.
