COLUMBUS – LifeCare Alliance, the Midwest’s leading provider of Meals-on-Wheels, is recruiting individuals, companies, social clubs and schools to deliver meals during the lunch hour to older Champaign County adults and homebound individuals who are medically challenged and living with a disability.

LifeCare Alliance will continue to serve all qualifying clients, but volunteers are needed to deliver hot meals five days a week. Volunteers may adopt a route one day a week, one day a month or any amount in between. Any level of participation will save LifeCare Alliance the cost of a paid driver. Volunteers are trained and pay no fees.

For many clients, the Meals-on-Wheels delivery person is the only contact that they encounter all day.

It takes thousands of volunteers to deliver more than a million Meals-on-Wheels prepared by LifeCare Alliance.

If you know someone who needs Meals-on-Wheels, please contact the customer service department at 614-278-3130. To learn more about volunteer opportunities offered by LifeCare Alliance call 614-444-MEAL (6325) or visit www.lifecarealliance.org.
