Help Ensure Your Neighbours are Well-Fed

Calgary Meals on Wheels believes everyone deserves to be well-fed, and we ensure all Calgarians have access to affordable, nutritious meals, no matter what challenges they face. Our volunteers play an essential role by delivering our meals and community connection to hundreds of clients throughout our city each day. Since 1965, we have never missed a day of delivery thanks to the dedication of our extraordinary volunteers.

 Volunteer Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Calgary Meals on Wheels. We are currently accepting applications for the following opportunities:

  • Make a difference in your community by delivering nutritious meals to our grateful clients. Pick a day of the week and frequency that works for you (weekly, monthly, etc.), and we’ll match you with an available route in your quadrant of the city. You’ll do the same route each time you volunteer and get to know the route and clients.

    Can’t commit to a regular route? No worries! We need help covering gaps; sometimes planned, sometimes unexpected and last-minute. Join our spare list!

    Recognizing volunteers utilize their own vehicles and gas while delivering meals, we offer a Gas Rebate Program to help offset the cost.

    Requirements:

    • Availability 10:30am - 1:00pm, at least one day Monday – Friday

    • Valid Alberta Driver’s License and access to a reliable vehicle

    • Clear Vulnerable Sector Police Check

    • Interview

  • Join one of our staff drivers in a branded van to deliver meals to clients downtown. At each stop, you’ll take the meals into the building while the driver stays with the van. You can courier on a regular frequency (ex: weekly on Mondays) or fill-in as a spare based on your schedule.

    Requirements:

    • Availability 10:30am - 1:00pm, at least one day Monday – Friday
