The volunteer corps for FiftyForward Fresh / Meals on Wheels is largely comprised of age 55+ adults who serve as meal prep and delivery volunteers for this popular program that serves nutrient-rich, healthy meals to older adults who are not able to prepare meals on their own. Kitchen meal prep volunteers are needed each weekday morning from 9–11 a.m. Volunteers are able to view an on-line sign-up list and preschedule their service based on their availability. Delivery drivers are asked to make a commitment to regular meal delivery. Meals are delivered each weekday with pick up beginning at 10:30 am from the FiftyForward Fresh/Meals on Wheels location at 174 Rains Avenue, Nashville 37203.
FiftyForward Friends Learning in Pairs (FLIP) matches adult tutors age 55+ with students in partnering Davidson and Williamson County elementary schools for one-on-one academic support in reading or math. FLIP tutors are required to take part in an interview, complete a criminal history check, and attend a full day training session prior to service. Volunteers are provided with ongoing guidance and support, high-quality tutoring materials, and recognition for their service.
