Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Community Nutrition Network & Senior Services Association/Meals on Wheels

Are you looking to volunteer in a small and casual office environment with friendly staff? A temporary volunteer is urgently needed to assist Meals on Wheels staff in Melrose Park with the day-to day operations of its office and cafe. This volunteer will be a vital part of the team handling data entry, filing, creating flyers, decorating both promotional materials and the space, mailing letters, answering the phones and ordering food. The volunteer will also pack meals for delivery to our homebound seniors and/or serve lunch, as well as run Bingo for the cafe seniors.

The volunteer will be available Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. This opportunity may be available for the next few months or more.

Some office experience is preferred; good phone presence and ability to work with seniors and other volunteers is a plus. Valid drivers license is desired as the volunteer may be asked to deliver meals on occasion.

If interested, please email kfisher@cnnssa.org.

Thank you!
