Dear Volunteer,

You help us to instill hope, change lives, and brighten futures!
The return to hot meals is JUNE 1st!

While writing this newsletter we have approximately 50% of the volunteers needed to return to our daily meal processes. If you're interested in driving a Meals on Wheels route your neighborhood, visit our website and fill out a volunteer application! We would LOVE to have you join our team!

We have exciting new things launching along with hot meals, including new and improved volunteer training, a new easy-to-use online volunteer scheduling system, an apparel store and so much more!

I am once again so grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside such an amazing community.

See you IN PERSON soon!

Return to Hot Meals Orientations
It's been over a year since we delivered our last hot meal with Meals on Wheels. It's time to dust off the cobwebs and remind ourselves of how to do this!

If you're a returning volunteer or are brand new, you must attend a volunteer orientation session either in person or via Zoom by registering at one of the appropriate links below!

Click on the date that works best for your schedule and we look forward to helping homebound seniors stay in their homes longer, healthier, and more affordably, together! 
Community Garden Volunteers & AmeriCorps Position
Help us maintain our garden beds sponsored by Feed Iowa First! All produce goes directly into the hands of our Meals on Wheels clients either as ingredients in meals or in a fresh produce grab bag. We're also growing pollinator-friendly flowers and fruit trees. Come on down, spend some quality outdoor time with some new friends and get your hands in some good clean dirt! Don't forget your sunscreen!


Do you know a student looking for a summer opportunity? We need a 16-week AmeriCorps Member to help maintain our garden beds and to distribute fresh produce! Email mgriffin@horizonsfamily.org or visit the full job description linked here for more information today!
Volunteer Spotlight

We’re pleased to feature Sheri Albrecht in our volunteer spotlight this month! Sheri began volunteering at the beginning of the pandemic last March. She's a regular volunteer at our meal packing sessions and had a great time participating in the Joy Drive. She plans to join Meals on Wheels as a regular Driving Volunteer June 1st. Sheri always comes in with a positive attitude and cracks everyone up with her soft-spoken humor!

Check out the interview Sheri did with Horizons in April about Volunteering!
