Mealtime Assistant
Canterbury Foundation
Do you want to interact with our residents at the most anticipated times of the day?
This is a great opportunity for individual or a group of volunteers.
This opportunity is also a fantastic starting point for someone who has not volunteered much in the past, or for someone who has a short amount of time to spend volunteering.
Volunteers will be helping to escort residents from their rooms to the dining room, assisting with hand hygiene, escorting residents to their seats, and assisting to ensure physical distancing is followed. At the end of the meal you will help escort residents back to their rooms.
Escorting residents to and from the dining room is especially helpful now as there have been many changes due to our continuing renovation projects. Our residents sometimes have difficulty especially finding their way back to their suites after a meal.
In person volunteers will be screened for risk of unknown COVID exposure.

No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
