In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, St. Alexius Outreach Ministries partnered with United Way 2-1-1 and the Chattanooga Area Food Bank to begin delivering food boxes to individuals in the Chattanooga area. We are able to assist the Food Bank in providing food to an average of 200 households every week with the help of volunteers.
Currently, food box delivery is a critical need in our community. This volunteer rides on the shuttle to assist our driver in delivering food boxes throughout the community. This volunteer may need to lift up to 30 lbs & will be responsible for calling recipients to let them know their delivery time.
Currently, volunteers are needed to fill gaps on Tuesday am/pm and Friday am/pm. Please note, if you commit to these shifts, we expect this to be a continuous commitment for your chosen days/times. Each shift begins at 9am and typically ends around 1pm (depending on amount of food box orders that day).

Mission Statement
Hospitality at Home is the flagship program of St. Alexius Outreach Ministries, Inc., the newest ministry of the Alexian Brothers. Creating connection for lonely, isolated older adults is at the heart of what we do. We are sustained by our dedicated volunteers, committed support staff, and the presence and service of the Alexian Brothers. We strive to carry on the Alexian Brothers' defining values of compassion, dignity of the person, care of the poor, holism, and partnership. Our mission is to alleviate isolation and loneliness through friendship and supportive services.
Description
Isolation and loneliness are growing crises within the ever-increasing older adult population. These factors impact seniors' overall well-being by affecting physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health while also increasing susceptibility to abuse. We serve older adults (70+) living alone by offering ongoing friendship and supportive services to alleviate these risk factors while bringing hope and reassurance. While our focus is on serving older adults, as many as 1 in 5 Americans experience loneliness and we believe that this ministry can address loneliness for people of all ages through volunteerism and friendship.
