Senior Food Delivery Day is currently a couple times per month event sponsored by Mercy Neighborhood Ministries. This event is a cornerstone of our mission to help seniors age in place. We need drivers to deliver a supply of nutritious food and personal care items to our clients who should not be coming out. We started deliveries during the COVID emergency.
We need dependable, caring volunteer drivers.
Senior Wellness Day is generally held on Tuesdays with a schedule made weeks ahead. The time required is generally from 9:00 AM until 10:00 or 11:00 AM.
Duties include:
- Picking up bags of food from Mercy Neighborhood Ministries, then taking them to assigned locations for our senior clients to pick up. We stay outside and let the clients come to their doors.
- Assisting with loading and unloading of their groceries into your vehicle
- Volunteers must be kind and sensitive to the needs of the elderly poor in our neighborhood.
- Be able to demonstrate compassion while upholding the dignity of others
- Drivers must have a valid driver’s license and auto insurance on their vehicle.

VALUESMercy Neighborhood Ministries, Inc. is committed to behaviors reflecting its core values of:
Dignity: torespect all people and their right to self-determination.

Empowerment: to help others recognize and act upon their own inner strengths.
Service: to respond to the physical, spiritual, mental and social needs of others.

We provide employment and support for women seeking self-sufficiency, and quality home health care services and wellness promotion to persons who are underserved by existing programs, especially the elderly poor.

We do this through programs that support their independence, advocate for fair and efficient treatment, decrease their anxiety and isolation, and raise public awareness of their needs.
· The Education Services provides the tools for individuals and families to move from dependency and poverty to self-sufficiency and wholeness of living. We accomplish this by connecting our clients to available community resources and offering adult educational and literacy programs, computer job training, payee and crisis assistance, and English as a second language.
