Volunteer Grocery Shopper

Flexible Schedule | San Antonio, TX 78217

Volunteers are needed to grocery shop for older homebound adults to make sure they have access to nutrition. All senior clients live in northeast San Antonio. Volunteer calls client and gets shopping list, buys the items, delivers and gets reimbursed immediately by client. You will also be reimbursed for mileage after you turn in mileage log to administrator. If clients are mobile, it is up to you whether you have enough time to take them along to the store. Opportunities are weekdays as well as weekends, depending on your schedule and the client need. It's just like helping a family member. Both client and volunteer benefit from this opportunity, and most times, friendships are formed!

Office Volunteer

Flexible Schedule | San Antonio, TX 78217

You must be fully COVID-19 vaccinated to work in our office. Volunteers are needed to work in our front desk. You will answer phones, record doctor appointments needed by clients in our book, call doctors to verify date/time/location of appointments, some filing or stuffing newsletters on occasion. We only have 3 employees so more help is needed in our office and you become a NESA family member! Of course, you can still go on vacation or whatever you need...just let us know when you will be out. This is a great opportunity for those who are retired, or parents who want something to do while the kids are at school during the day. We only need 1 volunteer per shift per day. For example, 1 Monday morning; 1 Monday afternoon; 1 Tuesday morning; 1 Tuesday afternoon, and so on.

Senior Transportation

Flexible Schedule | San Antonio, TX 78217

DRIVE A SENIOR TO A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT! Transportation is the #1need for seniors. Without it, their health declines and they may have to move to an assisted living facility. But they really want to remain living in their own homes where they feel comfortable. That's where we come in!!! Volunteers are needed to drive senior clients to routine doctor appointments (medical, dental, vision, lab). This is done on a one-on-one basis. You only pick up one client at a time. The driver will stay with client and return him/her home after appointment. It's an opportunity to get to know an older person who is very grateful for your help, and has lived an interesting life! All clients live in northeast San Antonio but appointments can be anywhere in San Antonio. You can look at our database and select client based on where they live, where they are going, and time of appointment. Clients have been pre-screened and must be ambulatory. We do not transport wheelchairs since you will be using your own vehicle. Volunteers can drive once per week or once per month, whenever you prefer. This volunteer opportunity is flexible and will work with your schedule. Drive once a week, once a month, or whenever. Mileage is reimbursed by NESA.

This wonderful organization provides services to seniors in northeast San Antonio. They offer a very valuable service of transportation to medical appointments, deliver groceries to the homes of clients; check on clients weekly; and perform minor repair jobs in the homes of clients. Each of these services are provided FREE of charge. Volunteering with NESA is a great way to give back to those who helped to build the community. I have enjoyed each and every time I've helped a senior remain independent!

They provide a valuable service in helping seniors remain independent in their own homes when there are no family members or friends to assist them in shopping or getting to doctor's appointments. You need to know your information about their location is incorrect: 2903 Nacogdoches Road San Antonio, TX 78217-4522 Their telephone numbers are still the same: Office: 210-967-4558 Facsimile: 210-967-6372 I can no longer find their web site, but you may contact Pat Ogle, the Volunteer Coordinator, at patogle@sbcglobal.net to get their current information. That is her business e-mail address.
