A 73-year-old Redmond resident is in need of help with grocery shopping twice a month. Her primary language is Spanish so you will not only provide a great service but also make her feel comfortable as you converse. Due to COVID-19, there is no direct contact between client and volunteer, so you'll get her list and do the shopping and drop off the groceries.
A little background on the program: Volunteer Services, a program of Catholic Community Services, assists low-income older adults and adults living with disabilities. Volunteers can provide assistance with light housecleaning, transportation, grocery shopping, home repair, and yard care. With a little help from volunteers, clients can continue to live independently in their homes.
Due to the vulnerable population we serve, volunteers must complete an application form, pass a Washington State Patrol check and attend an orientation.
