Thanksgiving Meal Deliveries
On Thanksgiving Day you will deliver meals to 2-4 neighbors with serious illnesses living in D.C., Maryland, or Virginia. Each individual you deliver to will receive a complete turkey dinner for 5 people so that they can host their friends and family for the holiday. There are four delivery shifts: 8:00 am, 9:00 am, 10:00 am, and 11:00 am. You will get your route assignment and pick up your meals outside at the Fort Totten Metro parking lot. Volunteers must use their own vehicle, have a valid driver’s license and clean driving record. The driver must be at least 18, but there is no lower age limit for passengers, making this a great activity for the whole family.
All delivery volunteers must complete a mandatory virtual orientation, must have a background check and vehicle report on file. Information about how and when to complete the orientation is available on VolunteerHub.
Food Preparation
This year, our Thanksgiving operations will look very similar to last year’s, but with more volunteers in the kitchen and more delivery volunteers to deliver Thanksgiving feasts on Thanksgiving Day. You will assist with the holiday food preparation and packing groceries in our kitchen. Kitchen shifts last approximately 2.5 hours and are available at 4:30 am, 6:30 am, and 8:30 am. Kitchen volunteers must be at least 14 years old and accompanied by a parent or guardian if under the age of 18.
