Volunteer Opportunities
Our volunteer opportunities offer meaningful ways to engage in service to others, including driver or visitor for our Home Delivered Meals program.
If you have a couple of hours a month and would like to help with the Home Delivered Meals program, other programs, or administrative tasks at our Turtle Creek Senior Center, call 412-824-6880 and a staff member will explain the application process to you.
Volunteering for Home Delivered Meals Program
Eastern Area Adult Services participates in the national program, Meals on Wheels, in which volunteers deliver one million meals and smiles to seniors in need across the country every day.
Beyond providing nutrition, delivering a meal also provides a moment of human connection that nourishes both the senior and the volunteer. For many seniors, the volunteer may be the only person they will see that day.
According to a survey of current Meals on Wheels volunteers, more than 75 percent are over the age of 55, and the average age of volunteers is 62, making it critical to recruit additional volunteers to keep the wheels rolling for future generations.
