SMITHTOWN, NY — Volunteer drivers are needed for the Town of Smithtown Senior Citizens Department's "Meals on Wheels" programs, according to the town. Drivers would be asked to deliver hot meals to the homebound in Smithtown township. Mileage reimbursement is available, the town said. "Due in part to the season, we are experiencing a steep reduction in the availability of our dear volunteer drivers," the town wrote. "Our Home Delivered Meal Program relies heavily on our volunteer drivers and their ability to deliver a hot meal to each of our clients." The town's Nutrition Program currently serves 130 homebound seniors throughout the community. "Without our volunteers' help and generosity of time, these seniors may not receive a meal and will endure continued social isolation," the town stated. Volunteers are asked to give an hour or two of their time to help deliver the meals. Options for daily, weekly and substitute drivers are available. For those with questions, concerns or who want more information, the town recommends calling the Senior Citizens Department at 631-360-7616. The Town of Smithtown is seeking volunteers for its "Meals on Wheels" program. (Town of Smithtown)
