Needs From: United Way of Lancaster County

Volunteer: Home-Delivered Meals (Drivers)

“Do you deliver?” Yes, yes, we do. Throughout Lancaster County we serve about 40 routes! This requires an average of 70-80 volunteer drivers to deliver meals on a day-to-day basis. Some of our volunteers enjoy delivering with a friend or a family member—these are our ‘visitors’. Together, our driving teams deliver an average of 840 meals a day (all within a 2-hour window of time). Incredible!
