Grocery Shop for Seniors

Flexible Schedule | Santa Cruz, CA 95062

Are you doing weekly shopping for your household? We invite you to help a senior at the same time by serving as a volunteer grocery shopper. We are recruiting healthy volunteers to shop for isolated seniors so they can remain safely at home. All volunteers will receive a safety training and will be background checked. Please Note: background checks can take up to 1 week to complete. For more information, visit our website: https://scvolunteercenter.org/programs/grocery-shopper-program This opportunity lists it's location as the Volunteer Center's building in Santa Cruz. In reality though, volunteers will be serving around Santa Cruz County by going to the grocery store and then delivering groceries to the home's of recipients. Volunteers will not be spending any time at the Volunteer Center's office.

Give a senior a ride to their doctor

Flexible Schedule | Santa Cruz, CA 95062

Are you a friendly, reliable, and safe driver that can give a few hours to help a senior or disabled person in need? Volunteer drivers are needed to provide round-trip transportation for seniors (55+) and folks with disabilities. Drivers provide an invaluable service for seniors by taking them on essential trips to the doctor, to buy groceries, to the bank, etc. As a volunteer, your schedule is completely flexible; you drive when you have time and no regular commitment is required. Additionally, you can be reimbursed for your gas costs and will receive supplemental car insurance for rides you provide as a volunteer. After you sign up, we'll reach out to you (and our other volunteer drivers) via email on a weekly basis with a list of upcoming rides that need a volunteer driver. If you can help with any of the requests, just shoot us a reply. Becoming a volunteer driver is a simple and fun way to build community, reduce isolation, and help all people in our community enjoy the freedom of movement. For more information, visit our website: https://scvolunteercenter.org/programs/transportation-program This opportunity lists it's location as the Volunteer Center's building in Santa Cruz. In reality though, volunteers will be serving around Santa Cruz County by picking up a client at their house, taking them to their destination, and then taking them home afterwards. Volunteers will not be spending any time at the Volunteer Center's office. Note, if you sign up via VolunteerMatch we'll follow up with you to answer any questions you have before then sending you a link to our real volunteer sign up form (which you can also find by visiting our website at the link above).
