Volunteering with The Village Chef is a practical way to help local people stay nourished, independent and connected. A meal delivery may be a small part of your day, but for the person receiving it, the friendly visit can make a real difference. We are often looking for volunteers who can assist with weekday meal deliveries and other areas of support.
