Help bridge the gap between seniors and our programs and services!
We need volunteers who are willing to help with the foot work of door to door outreach to a specific population, our seniors! You do not need to be a resident of Grundy County but you must have reliable transportation to get you to your volunteer commitments.
It is vital that seniors know about and are connected with services that they need! That is where YOU come in!
If you are over the age of 18, interested in helping seniors and enjoy talking with people we would love to have you volunteer with us to help with this project!
We need a few hours a month typically during the daytime hours or early evening. We do not want our volunteers out after dark so we need people that can dedicate a few hours a month to going door to door. This project runs from October 2017-September 2018. We will not be having our volunteers go out in harsh winter months.
We need eager, energetic caring and compassionate people willing to join our volunteer family!
We truly care about the people we serve and our volunteers ensure we are successful in providing outreach and education throughout the County!

Mission Statement
The Grundy County Health Department has a group of medical and non medical volunteers. The volunteer program is called the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC). The MRC's mission is to help promote and educate overall health & well being and emergency preparedness in the community. We accomplish this by training and utilizing our volunteers to assist us with educating the public on a variety of topics.
Description
The Grundy County Medical Reserve Corps is housed within the Grundy County Health Department.
The MRC provides the framework for health professionals and others that are not medical personnel to volunteer and strengthen overall public health within their community!
MRC units are locally based teams of medical and non-medical volunteers who can assist their community not only in promoting public health but also during large-scale emergencies such as influenza pandemic, a chemical spill, or an act of terrorism.
Our volunteers help within a variety of departments in our Health Department in an effort to fill gaps and resource needs. Our volunteers are a vital component of the health department and have helped with numerous outreach and health education projects.
Join today to make a difference locally!
