Mostly we recruit volunteers to deliver meals to our clients over their lunch hour during the week this is where the greatest need is. However, there are other opportunities to volunteer on boards/committees, with food prep/office work, during special events, donating your special skills, making crafts/cards for clients etc. We are very flexible and welcome suggestions!
As little as 1 hour a month to as often as you like! Volunteer once or schedule a regular day of the week or month to come in and volunteer.
Delivering meals includes driving to the program site, picking up 8-10 meals and delivering them to 8-10 residences. It takes about an hour and occurs in your own community. The amount you socialize with the clients is dependent on the volunteer and the client.
Primarily Monday through Friday from 11am-1pm, there are other opportunities in the morning or afternoon Monday through Friday as well.
Yes! In fact, we encourage it. Create a volunteer team at your church, with a social group or at work!
