Popcorn Poppers
University Medical Center is looking for ‘popcorn poppers.’ You can be an important part of the UMC group of volunteers. Most volunteers work four hours once a week, but UMC will work with your schedule. The best part of volunteering is that you make a difference for so many individuals and families.

Drivers & Helpers
Lubbock Meals on Wheels is looking for volunteer drivers, both regular and substitute to deliver meals. Each route has about 10 to 12 meals that can be delivered in an hour.
Orientation and background checks are required for all delivery volunteers.
