Meals on Wheels: 9/11 Week of Service 2026 [HIL]

The September 11 Week of Service and Remembrance is an opportunity to honor the sacrifices made on that day by remembering the heroes, armed forces, first responders, and countless others whose acts of courage and service helped defend our nation's freedom. Through service, we pay tribute to those we lost and carry forward the spirit of unity, compassion, and community that emerged in the aftermath of September 11.

United Way Suncoast is proud to offer this volunteer opportunity with Meals on Wheels as part of our annual 9/11 Week of Service & Remembrance. By giving your time, you are helping combat food insecurity and social isolation while demonstrating the spirit of service that this week represents.

Volunteers will be working together in a kitchen to prepare a variety of food items that will later be delivered to the homebound clients. Tasks may include scooping fruit into cups, sealing the fruit cups, bagging bread/rolls, or and assisting with other meal preparation activities.

PLEASE NOTE: this project relies on a full shift of volunteers to complete the assigned tasks. It is important that you remove yourself from the project if you can no longer attend so someone else has the chance to sign up. 

Safety Protocols:

• Hair nets must be worn throughout the shift; these are provided on-site.
• Please remember to wear long pants (no shorts) and closed toe shoes (no sandals or flip-flops), as per local health codes.
• Tank tops are not allowed.
