Work With Meals On Wheels

This established organization brings nutritious meals to seniors who are at risk for hunger throughout the year, but they ramp up efforts around the holidays. You can find volunteer opportunities near you here.

​

Offer To Go Grocery Shopping

People in vulnerable populations might need your help to get groceries safely this holiday. Different states have organizations that offer this service, like Friendly Shoppers in Connecticut, so do some research. If you do help out, make sure you're being particularly careful in regards to COVID-19 precautions both during and after your shifts.

​

Volunteer At Or Donate To A Food Bank

Many local food banks see an influx of volunteers around the holidays, which can actually overwhelm them. Be sure to ask specifically what they need when you're inquiring about volunteering. Maybe it's just some donated supplies. Maybe it's your time, but at a later date. Or maybe they could really use your time around the holidays. They will tell you what they need. Find a food bank near you here.
