Lubbock Meals On Wheels

Volunteer Appreciation

It takes the help of over 1200 volunteers to make our program possible. Over 42 people are needed every day to deliver all of the routes. These volunteers not only give of their time but also use their own vehicles and pay for their own gasoline. These volunteers are truly the “wheels” of Meals on Wheels so it is very important to us that we recognize and reward their efforts whenever possible.

Annual Volunteer Dinner

This event is held each year in April. Awards will be given to those who have completed 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and even 35 years of volunteer service (now that is commitment!) Volunteers and their guests will be treated to a fun evening and a new theme every year. They will enjoy great food, entertainment, door prizes, and hopefully realize how much we appreciate all they do to make our community a better place to live.

Summer Social
A week-long luau-themed event held every July in which Lubbock Meals on Wheels volunteers are invited back to the office for lunch after completing their deliveries. Hot dogs and beverages are provided and volunteers are encouraged to bring their favorite side dish.

Christmas Lunches
A week-long event held every December in which Lubbock Meals on Wheels volunteers are invited back to the office for lunch after completing their deliveries. A different soup will be served daily along with delicious cornbread and beverages.
