CHARDON, Ohio — The Geauga County Department on Aging's Home Delivered Meals Program is in desperate need of volunteers.

The HDM Program delivers warm, nutritious lunches between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., Monday through Friday, to homebound seniors in the community. GDA is looking for area agencies, organizations, church groups, and individuals 18 years old or older with a valid driver's license who are interested in volunteering.

Training includes filing GDA HDM volunteer paperwork and a short orientation about the program. Volunteers can deliver meals on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or as needed/substitute basis.

They need volunteers for the following days/locations:

  • Chardon on Fridays
  • Newbury Township on Wednesdays and Fridays
  • Chesterland every other Wednesday and every Friday
  • Russell Township every other Tuesday

Citizens who would like to Volunteer can contact Nathan Gorton at (440) 279-2138 or email at NGorton@co.geauga.oh.us. He will walk you through the process and help you complete the paperwork.
