Join our hardworking Meals on Wheels team to heat, pack and prepare meals for delivery to older adults and people with limited mobility in the Saint Paul area as a Hot Meal Packer!

- Warm meals in our oven.
- Follow detailed packing instructions to ensure outgoing meals match each client’s dietary needs/preferences.
