Volunteer News

MOW volunteers can receive a deduction on their '08 income tax forms for mileage they accrued packing or serving meals for the organization. Request this information from your site manager or call the Arnold office.

Nursing students from Anne Arundel Community College will receive credit for their service-learning hours by doing in-home evaluations on several MOW clients in the County. The purpose of these visits is to help determine clients' nutritional risk and to provide them with updated information regarding health and emergency contacts. These yearly evaluations are required for certain grant-funding sources.  They also help the students strengthen skills they will need as new nurses.
