Volunteer Opportunities
- Weekly Route Drivers are responsible for delivering meals to homebound clients on the day(s) scheduled.
- Substitute Drivers are responsible for delivering meals to homebound clients as a back-up driver when the regular volunteer meal delivery driver is unable to take the route. Much like a substitute teacher, the substitute driver does not have a permanent weekly route, but is called as needed.
- Meal Managers coordinate meal distribution for volunteer drivers at a given pick–up site as assigned.
- Meals on Two Wheels volunteers deliver meals via bike on certain routes in East Austin.
Volunteer Eligibility Requirements
- Turn in a completed Volunteer Registration Form
- A copy of CURRENT Driver’s License, a valid inspection sticker, and up-to-date liability insurance coverage on vehicle, as required by the Texas Department of Public Safety

- Verification checks:
- Criminal Background History
- Department of Aging and Disability Services Nurse Aide Registry
- Department of Aging and Disability Services Employee Misconduct Registry
