Meals on Wheels Delivery Opportunity
Informational Meeting May 23
There is a strong need to provide and deliver meals for the elderly in Columbus. You and your family have the chance to partner with LifeCare Alliance's Meals on Wheels program to help keep our aging neighbors in their homes, where they want to be. Our children will see the good they are doing in their community by handing over a hot meal to someone in need, while spending some quality time with their family.
We are looking to recruit 20-25 families to volunteer so that we can "adopt" a full route. We have both weekend and weekday volunteer opportunities, and you can work the route as frequently or as infrequently as you would like. We are asking for a commitment of at least once per month. We would like to get the route started as soon as possible, once we have 20-25 families signed up and trained.
Meals will be picked up at 10:30am at LifeCare Alliance, 670 Harmon Ave. and delivered in neighborhoods throughout the city. Each route takes between 1 - 2 hours to complete. We will have an informational meeting and training session on Wednesday May 23 at 6:00 pm in Hendricks Hall. Please contact Nancy Davis at 336-337-4421 to RSVP, or with any other questions you might have. |
