Winter typically means a need for more drivers, as some regular volunteers take the winter months off due to driving conditions or “snowbird” lifestyles. This seasonal shortage, along with record-breaking numbers of meals delivered in recent months, makes the current need for volunteers urgent.
Drivers deliver meals to Missoula County residents Monday through Friday between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Most routes take less than 90 minutes to drive, and mileage is reimbursed or may be donated for a tax deduction. Drivers may volunteer daily, once a week, twice a month or serve as an on-call substitute.
