Meals on Wheels - bless the community opportunity
Meals on Wheels is a NZ wide community service providing meals to people who are unable to prepare their own meals. In Wellington it is overseen by Capital Coast Health and the meals are delivered by community volunteers. St Aidan's have been providing the volunteers for the route on the Peninsula for a number of years, but their team has recently reduced in size and they're struggling to fill all the roster slots.
The need is for two people (one to drive and one to deliver), one Wednesday a month, to pick up the meals at 11am, deliver them to the homes on the route and return the empty containers. It takes about 1 hour in total, including pick up and return. They are also looking for anyone available to fill in when volunteers are away or sick.
