Seniors in your neighborhood need friendly volunteers to help get their pantry boxes or pick up groceries once or twice a month. We have locations throughout Allegheny County. Many pantries are open on weekdays, but many have evening and weekend hours as well! Grocery pick-up and delivery can be completed any day of the week. Volunteers can choose what neighborhoods they'll help in or be assigned those most in need. We will match you to the location and time that work best for you. We also have opportunities to deliver from groceries, deliver meals, or to help with curbside pickups at grocery stores across the county. Wesley Family Services is a social service and social care agency serving southwestern PA. Our volunteer-assisted services in the community are supported primarily by our funding partner: The United Way. We've been supporting seniors for over 25 years and are currently providing services with COVID-19 safety measures. This volunteer position is only open to residents of Pennsylvania. All volunteers must complete the PA Criminal History clearance (PATCH), which is free for volunteers. We are not able to accept volunteers who do not have a recent background check.

Wesley Family Services' volunteer-assisted services are seeking volunteers in the Penn Hills/Plum/Verona/Monroeville areas. We are in need of caring volunteers assist older adults (aged 60 ) in a variety of ways: Grocery shopping - pick up a few extra items during your regular shopping trip and deliver them to a care receiver, or take a senior along with you to the store.
