Meals on Wheels for Kids is looking for volunteers to help bring food to children and families during the week when kids are distance-learning or at home from school for the summer.

Through the Tampa Bay Network to End Hunger (TBNEH), volunteers will “help pack and deliver Meals On Wheels for Kids (MOW4Kids) in Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties each week.”

Prospects need a vehicle and be able to pass a background check. Deliveries happen Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting at 10 a.m. and takes about an hour per route bringing shelf stable food and cold meal packs to food insecure families around Tampa Bay. 

If you have a school-aged child, are home-bound or have lack of transportation, and would like food delivered go to MOW4Kids or call 813-344-5837.

If you’d like to volunteer, apply here.
