No matter what your background or interests, Meals on Wheels in Hunterdon has a volunteer opportunity that's just right for you. Most people want to become Volunteer Drivers delivering meals to their homebound neighbors throughout the county. Site Volunteers help part-time staff package meals and assist drivers as they prepare for their routes. Meals on Wheels is a private, not-for-profit service agency. As such, it is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors. Board members attend meetings and serve on committees to address staff, fundraising and budgetary issues. Volunteer opportunities abound, technical, social, financial, even 'life experience' contributions are needed. Your involvement – from a single project to an ongoing commitment – can really make a difference!

People who sing are less stressed and happier in general. Come and sing with us! The Silver Belles and Beaus senior singing group begins fall rehearsals on Thursday, September 5! There are no auditions, and you do not need to read music. If you like to sing and are available on Thursday mornings, give us a try! Membership is free. This group of spirited ladies and gentlemen is sponsored by the Hunterdon County YMCA Active Older Adult Center. We meet from 9:45 AM to 11:30 AM every Thursday morning at the Bunnvale Church, 285 Route 513, Glen Gardner.
