Are you passionate about hunger among senior citizens? Volunteer Prince William’s Retired and Senior Volunteer Program has an urgent need for volunteers who can help our two senior centers deliver Meals on Wheels to homebound seniors on weekdays. This is a partnership between Volunteer Prince William and the Prince William Area Agency on Aging. Duties include pick up prepared food at one of two senior centers in Manassas & Woodbridge, deliver the midday meal to homebound seniors, check on the welfare of seniors when food is delivered and bring thermal containers back to the senior center. Shifts are on weekday mornings and run 2-3 hours. Training is provided.
Volunteers must be at least 55 years old, have a valid driver’s license, vehicle in good working condition and proper vehicle insurance. Must successfully complete a driving records check and provide references.
Volunteers will feel great knowing they are helping seniors to live independently in their home and receive nutritious midday meals.
RSVP volunteers receive a small mileage stipend to and from their volunteer activities plus liability insurance for their volunteer participation.
It doesn't matter if you live in Woodbridge or Haymarket - if you're interested and available, let's talk!

Description
Prince William RSVP is the premier volunteer program for adults 55 and older. Put your skills and talents to work helping to solve critical social problems.
With their time, talent, and wisdom, hundreds of retired persons are helping children learn to read by service through The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). Funded through the Corporation for National Service and in cooperation with the Points of Light Foundation, this initiative marks the first RSVP program within the greater Prince William area. While Prince William RSVP has been specifically focused as a literacy based program addressing the America Reads Challenge, we are proud to announce that the program is expanding to include more volunteer opportunities. New partners include the Prince William Area Agency on Aging and the 31st Juvenile Justice Department, American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, and Beacon just to name a few. Prince William RSVP volunteers choose the volunteer site, volunteer opportunity, day, and time that are most convenient to volunteer. Volunteer benefits include mileage reimbursement, cab service, supplemental accident insurance, training luncheons and get togethers, year-end recognition event, and a RSVP shirt or tote bag sporting our RSVP logo.
