Steps to Start a Team

Sharing a route with your co-workers, family, or friends makes it easy to volunteer for MOWAM. For example, if you have 8 people on your volunteer team, you
can arrange to deliver either once a month in pairs or once every other month as individuals. Remember -- it only takes one hour to complete a delivery!

Delivering meals with a team is a great way to connect with others and make an immediate difference in the community. 

Tips for Successful Team/Group Coordination

  • Make a schedule with contact numbers for each delivery-team member.
  • Establish a back-up coordinator to fill-in when the primary coordinator is absent.
  • If your team can’t attend an onsite MOWAM Volunteer Orientation, ask for a copy of our training materials.
  • Periodically check the Non-Delivery Dates on our website. State holidays are not always MOWAM holidays.
  • To arrange for a substitute for your route, please call or email MOWAM 24 hours in advance. Cancellations made after 9 a.m. on your date of delivery are difficult to cover.
  • You must carry all meals in insulated containers. These can be purchased through MOWAM for $4 each.
  • Please share all content and back-up information with our Volunteer Services Department by email or by calling 476-6325.

Power in Numbers

Ideally, sign up 10 - 12 team members to make sure there are back-up drivers in the event of cancellations.
