Volunteer as a Group
Volunteering as a group is a great way to impact your community while volunteering with people you know. We work with a variety of groups, from organizations to schools and even large groups of friends. By working together to support local seniors, your group can make a positive impact while creating lasting memories. The MOWWM team can work with schools and organizations to develop customized engagement plans with volunteer opportunities, tours, and more. Your support helps us ensure that no senior goes hungry or forgotten.

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing with sturdy shoes. You may also want to wear layers, since a lot of volunteer work requires going in and out of our freezers.
