Hurricane Dorian is impacting millions of people in the southeastern United States and the Bahamas. As we watch this natural disaster unfold, the staff here at VolunteerMatch is doing our part to ensure that if you are in an affected community, you are prepared and safe. And if you are looking to help an affected community, you are properly trained or informed about the most effective ways to contribute. From all of us here at VolunteerMatch: please stay safe.
Once a week, the Meals on Wheels driver delivers noon-time meals to Meals on Wheels Consumers on a specific route. While delivering meals, the driver also checks on the consumers' well-being.
For volunteers age 55 and above.
Drivers report to the Senior Community Resource Center Manager where route is assigned to pick up meals, route sheets and any changes. At times, drivers will be asked to deliver envelopes or other information along with meals.
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provides opportunities for people 55 and over to make a difference in their community through volunteer service. RSVP volunteers contribute anywhere from a few to over twenty hours per week, serving through schools, day care centers, hospitals, environmental and other nonprofit and public organizations to help meet critical community needs. RSVP offers maximum flexibility and choice to its volunteers. RSVP matches the personal interests and skills of older Americans with opportunities to help solve community problems and offers supplemental insurance while on duty, and on-the-job training from the agency or organization where volunteers are placed.
