Each week volunteers help to package and distribute fresh produce directly to families and individuals in need in our community. We need volunteers to participate in assembling the produce bags weekly or you can serve as a part of the distribution team and meet at various location every Friday to hand out the produce. We also distribute to additional locations one Saturday a month as well. All youth under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Pet Food to Seniors
Our pets are an important part of our lives. For many senior adults, pets provide comfort, provide service and give companionship. We help many of our Meals on Wheels clients by providing a free, monthly pet-food delivery. Volunteers are needed to deliver these supplies on the third Saturday each month. We also package the food every Tuesday.

Uptown @ Kelley
Do you enjoy cooking with friends and helping to give back to neighbors in a very meaningful way? Once a month or every week as we prepare a nutritious meal and package it for families and individuals at the Uptown @ Kelley community in NE OKC. This neighborhood has been identified as food insecure and as a family of faith, we want to make sure every person who wants a delicious, hot meal has that opportunity. We prepare a meal, provide an activity kit for kids and connect with our neighbors every Thursday on location in the kitchen at Uptown.
- 1-2hrs Thursday each week
- Good for Families
- Volunteer Now
Friendly Visitor Program
As a Friendly Visitor, you will be paired with a senior for weekly phone or in-person visits. Many of the participating seniors may not have friends or family nearby and have trouble leaving the house on their own, so they end up spending most of their time alone. By volunteering, you can brighten your senior neighbor’s day and give them something to look forward to.
