With the Week of Champions on the horizon, we're reminiscing on years past. Every March, we celebrate local champions and have them join us for a volunteer shift so they can learn more about what we do, and we can celebrate members of our community!

Do you know a local champion we should invite? Maybe a favorite teacher or a generous neighbor? Send us their information, and we'll reach out! We love to highlight all the incredible neighbors we have in our community, and are excited to do it again this year!

"For cold packing and handing out bags, I love meeting the MOW community members. There are so many that I know by name and look forward to seeing each week. They are truly wonderful, kind people." - Julie W., Meals on Wheels volunteer.

Every day, we have several volunteers who work behind-the-scenes to help us pack and prepare all the meals before the delivery drivers show up. This work truly is a team effort, and we're so thankful to ALL of our volunteers who show up each morning and help us deliver more than a meal to our neighbors in need.

This month, we're partnering with for their Community Bag Program. For every reusable bag purchased this month at our local Giant, $1 is donated directly to Meals on Wheels of Charlottesville/Albemarle!

Community Bags will be on display racks at Giant this month, so keep an eye out for the purple reusable bags next time you're at the grocery store! 🛍️💕

Behind the scenes as our volunteers deliver more than a meal 🍽️💕

Every day, we rely on 35 of our neighbors to help us deliver a hot meal and a social check-in to our neighbors in need. So many of our volunteers do this EVERY WEEK! We're so thankful to have so many volunteers committed to helping our community, checking in on our neighbors, and delivering more than a meal to those who need it.

"Our organization is run by our community, for our community"

Our Executive Director speaks on how all that we do is made possible through local support: our neighbors support our neighbors. It is through local funding and our dedicated volunteers that we're able to meet the needs we're seeing in our community.

Thank you so much to everyone who braved the weather last week to help us welcome our new volunteers! 🙌🏻 We had such a great time playing games, reading tarot, and having a drink with great company at 🍻

One of the most commonly asked questions we get is, "Do you have to have the same availability every week to volunteer?" NO! We're always looking for folks to sub in to deliver whenever their schedule allows.

"It's clear from the welcoming response from clients that we're making a difference in their lives. They're glad to see us and happy to have someone to chat with!"

Delivering more than a meal, that's what we're all about! So many of our clients live alone and rely on the social visits from our volunteers to get them through the days.

If you're looking for a way to make a tangible impact on your neighbors, come volunteer with us! It only takes 1 hour to make an impact on your neighbors 🥰

Today we delivered Bonus Pantry Packs, boxes of shelf-stable pantry items, to each of our clients. Thanks to our friends at we’re able to offer these to our neighbors for free, ensuring they have a stocked pantry of essential items like shelf-stable milk, pasta, peanut butter, and more.

Due to ongoing safety concerns with the icy roads, we will remain closed tomorrow, Tuesday, February 3. We're hopeful that another day of sun and "warmer" weather will allow us to open and deliver meals on Wednesday! Stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
