MOBIL MEALS APP

The Mobil Meals app is used by meal delivery volunteers to navigate their delivery route and notify staff of clients’ well being and food orders.

Policies and Procedures

All new and current volunteers should stay familiar with the Meals on Wheels Northeastern Illinois Volunteer Policies and Procedures. Review the Volunteer Policy and Procedures and return the acknowledged form on the last page.

Background Checks

We require background checks on all our staff and volunteers. These background checks are renewed annually. If you have been notified that it is time to renew your background check, you may do so by visiting verifiedvolunteers.com or completing the Background Check Renewal Form and returning it to our office.

Volunteer IDs

All current volunteers need a Meals on Wheels Northeastern Illinois Volunteer ID to wear while delivering meals. If you do not have one, stop in the office to have your photo taken or send in a photo to volunteercoordinator@MealsonWheelsNEI.org.

We’ll let you know when your ID is ready to pick up.
