Volunteering with God's Love We Deliver

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with God’s Love We Deliver!

Without the help of our amazing volunteers – thousands every year – we simply would not be able to cook and deliver over 17,000 medically tailored meals each weekday.  Our volunteers work in the kitchen, deliver and package meals, work in our office and help out with special events to help us achieve our life-saving mission.

If you are not feeling well or have any concerns about volunteering, DO NOT VOLUNTEER NOW.
