FARGO — The Meals on Wheels program is seeking volunteers to help deliver hot meals to seniors in Fargo, according to a news release.
Valley Senior Services said it needs volunteers for January and February. The group delivers more than 1,400 hot meals each day to home-bound residents who are at least 60 years old.
It oversees operations in Cass, Steele, Traill, Ransom, Sargent and Richland counties. The call for volunteers is for delivery to Fargo seniors, but people also can volunteer to help out in those counties, said Kayle Oliver, a spokesperson for the Fargo Park District.
“Delivering Meals on Wheels is a simple and rewarding way to help seniors in our community who are unable to prepare meals for themselves,” the release said.
There is a growing demand for delivery services through the program, Valley Senior Services said. Volunteers are needed year round, according to the release.
