Join the Springwell team as a Volunteer Home Delivered Meals Driver!

Springwell is an essential part of the social safety net for thousands of older adults each year. Springwell has never stopped working diligently to continue to provide services to our senior community through the pandemic. We have, however, faced unique and unanticipated challenges, especially in our home-delivered meals program, which has suffered from staffing issues due to the closure of a key community partner. Springwell responded by recruiting temporary volunteers who are willing to provide home delivery of meals. Even with re-opening activities, we continue to need volunteers to fill this vital role. We especially need volunteers who can work in the towns of Brookline, Newton, Watertown and Wellesley.

If you are:

  • interested in receiving training and support to help us reach vulnerable seniors with critical in-home meals;
  • have a reliable car, a current driver’s license, and a clean driving record;
  • are able to provide these services, consistent with guidance we receive from the CDC, WHO and other governmental agencies, recognizing you may come into contact with high-risk members of our community and others;
  • are able to lift up to 25 pounds; and
  • and are successfully able to meet the regulatory pre-requisites for the position.

*Note: These positions are temporary and on a volunteer basis, without compensation or benefits.

Please contact us! Email volunteer@springwell.com to start the process; or go online and apply to volunteer at www.springwell.com/volunteer
