ST. PETERSBURG, FL — Meals On Wheels for Kids needs volunteers to help continue food delivery services in the St. Petersburg area.

The program delivers meals to children who attend school online because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Meals On Wheels launched in March when schools were closed due to the pandemic. The program counts on 125 volunteers each week to deliver solid meals. Volunteers deliver a box of shelf stable foods and frozen meals, as resources allow, on Mondays and Wednesdays between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
