Our Volunteers
AUMOW has a rich history of volunteers delivering meals, preparing meals, overseeing the organisation as member of the Management Committee, helping out with functions and events, donating time for working bees – helping in so many areas of the organisation, we would not be here today if it was not for their generous gift of time and talents.
Some of our volunteers have been with us for many years – well over 30 in some cases! There are folks who do one run each month and others we see every week – it depends on what is convenient for each person.
We also enjoy the support of a number of local businesses who roster their staff to do regular deliveries. These include National Australia Bank, Regional Australia Bank, Forsyth’s Accountants, Roberts & Morrow Accountants, Town & Country Real Estate as well as local organisations whose staff bring some of their own clients to do deliveries – The Ascent Group, Challenge Disability Services and Sunnyfield Disability Services.
New volunteers are welcome to join Meals on Wheels anytime and can contact the office on 6772 8970 or pop in to see us at the Showground in Dumaresq Street.
There is a registration form to complete and we do require all staff and volunteers to complete a National Criminal Check, which is a mandatory requirement for everyone who works in Aged Care services. We will undertake this process for you and cover the cost as well.
