April 10–24, 2026
Volunteer Appreciation Week is our time to pause and say thank you to the incredible individuals and organizations who make Meals For The Elderly possible.
Our volunteers are the heart of this mission. Every day, they deliver more than meals. They deliver kindness, compassion, and connection to seniors across our community.
How We’re Celebrating
Throughout Volunteer Appreciation Week, goodies will be delivered each day to our volunteers as a small but heartfelt thank you for the care and commitment they give so generously.
To conclude the week, we will host our Annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon at the McNease Convention Center. During the luncheon, we will celebrate service milestones and announce:
-
Volunteer of the Year
-
Organization of the Year
This event is a meaningful opportunity to recognize the difference makers who serve our seniors with dignity and heart.
